The new state motto, pushed by the governor Fenty Fergie, and his AG Nick Brown, seems to be “Standing up to Trump”, regardless of how futile and costly to taxpayers it is. Our cost of living here just goes up and up, driven by high and rising fuel prices, increasing property taxes (and all other …
Earlier this week, Hubby and I had a little getaway to LaConner, situated on the Swinomish Channel. It’s a long tidal channel northwest of Seattle.
