Why we live here

Our region, the Pacific Northwest, is the cloudiest place in the US, notorious for never-ending rains. Unwelcoming? No! There are many good reasons to live here. Rather than using word, let me show you. (click on the pictures to see them on their real scale).

1)    The Pacific Ocean cohabits with mountains and nature – and the city.

This picture was taken last Tuesday by our friend Jett Brooks who has the eye and the talent – her photos are exceptional.

2)    Indeed, the sky is mightily clouded, but clouds do their best to be remarkable.

Above Mount Rainier, we see once in a while those stunning flying saucers – actually lenticular clouds that form when stable moist air flows over a mountain. Beautiful with a hint of science-fiction. This picture was published on the website of the local TV station King 5.
