Springtime west and north of Seattle

---

Here is a lovely spring visit to the Olympic Peninsula, west of Seattle, WA, USA. We enjoyed this special time with our daughter, two grand-daughters and many 'critters' but mainly dog Shadow and the cats. I show a few of the neat things we saw and enjoyed there. Tami is a young widow, for nearly 5 years now, and she has raised her three daughters through high school and out into the world. She is ready to return, herself, to univsersity to get her degree and become a teacher. All of these changes require much effort and we spent two weeks there helping through some paperwork, packing, and cleaning. Sadly, the dog and cats will have to find new homes.

Amazing engineering, these twin bridges, with the second recently completed, provide better access to the Olympic Peninsula.
