March Poll Results

It looks like it’s pretty much a toss up between those readers who live here and those who will be visiting soon.
That information will help keep me on the lookout for events that are happening in the here and now, rather than too far down the road.
I’ll get a poll up for April sometime next week, […]

Today, the Skagit Valley celebrates Tulips and Spring with its annual Tulip Festival, April 1st – 30th.  […]

Ride into Spring at the Snoqualmie Depot

I used to ride the train when I was a kid.  My parents would put my brother and I on the train and one station, and my grandparents would pick us up at another station.  It was well organized, and very easy, and I felt so grown up traveling alone. 
When I learned to drive, the […]

“Stop Kiss” at Seattle Public Theater

What happens when a first kiss doesn’t result in a happy ending?
That’s the premise of Diana Son’s “Stop Kiss” now running at the Seattle Public Theater.  Challenging our assumptions about relationships, this production reminds us what a profound privilege it is to love and be loved.
