Dinner at Discovery Park!
Beavers have moved into one of the ponds. We’ve spotted their dam before, but this is the first time we’ve seen the beaver itself. Grateful for the urban wildlife we share space with here in Seattle.

Amidst all the atrocities taking place in the U.S., please don't forget the imminent threat of being robbed of our public lands. Once this happens, to paraphrase Heather Cox Richardson, we will never get them back. (Sample letter to U.S. senators included in article.)
The Senate Vote That Could Change Public Lands Forever
This week Republicans are pushing a legal maneuver that would undo a century of public land protections — starting with America’s most beloved wilderness.

The iconic Mt Rainier catching the rays from today's spectacular sunset. This viewpoint is along Lake Washington Blvd - where we stopped after a wonderful day strolling in Seward Park. Seattle has many places to immerse in nature, relax, and recreate. Get outdoors and explore. #saturdayvibes

From Seattle's Waterfront Park to Pioneer Square Habitat Beach, back to Overlook Walk and Pike Place Market. Saw Ryan Henry Ward creating a new mural (love his work!) and wrapped it up with oyster happy hour and a sunset. Perfect adventure. Hope you get out and explore it for yourself!

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and adventure-filled 2026!

We spent a few days along the Oregon Coast whale-watching, tide-pooling, lighthouse-hopping, and dune-trekking. Love the beautiful and diverse landscape.

Orcas reported this morning in Central Puget Sound. We look forward to seeing who it is.

A gray whale, presumably CRC53 Little Patch, has been keeping a presence around Whidbey/Camano.
