“I have a thing for ferries”

Like Dr. McDreamy from Grey’s Anatomy… I have a thing for ferries. I always enjoy the experience, regardless of where I’m going, because the Puget Sound area is so beautiful. The trip itself is like an adventure of its own.

Picture from yesterday on our way to Bainbridge Island.

You can now reserve a spot on a ferry from Anacortes to San Juan Islands (Orcas, Lopez, San Juan, and Shaw) and from San Juan and Orcas to Anacortes. Reservations are open for the summer. The website is encountering a technical problem right now but it should be fixed shortly.

“Here and Now” at Burke Museum

This is an amazing exhibit of ancient and modern native art. Today’s Native American artists have been given the chance to watch, study, and work with very ancient objects from past generations.

These beautiful pieces inspired them and here is the exhibit that showcases 30 historic objects paired with the new works.

Pictured here are some of them. You may remember an item I already talked about: the mask that inspired the original Seahawks logo. Read my previous post here: The mask…

And this is a good place to go with children, as there is a space where they can design an armor, decorate a “spindle whorl” or create a “memory box”.


Here and Now at the Burke Museum, UW Campus, 17 ave Northeast and Northeast 45th Street

Until July 27, 2015
