We are having a beautiful weekend – just look at the light of yesterday’s sunset. This is Saltar’s Beach, which is just around the corner from our house and my favorite spot in Steilacoom (also home to the spooky abandoned marina).

To escape some gloomy weather, my husband and I drove towards the sunny southeast corner of Washington last weekend. Our destination was Walla Walla. We were not on the road long before this collection of antique trains caught my eye in downtown Snoqualmie. Close up, the sun-bleached colors were incredible.

This hike ended at Noble Knob near Enumclaw, WA. The trail felt very remote – I was sure I was going to see a bear. Of course I didn’t.
