In Happy Valley, spring does not arrive evenly.  Drive through the valley floor near Pleasant Valley and you might still see damp lawns and slower warming conditions.

In Vancouver, WA, there is always a moment in April when everything shifts.  It might be a sunny Saturday in Fisher’s Landing. A warmer evening in Felida where the patio finally feels usable again. Or a quiet Sunday afternoon in Salmon Creek when the cover comes off the spa for the first time in weeks.  That is […]
