I love to read. I always have a book on the side table, my beach bag, or in my suitcase. I love getting lost in a story.  The weekend rolls around and there are must-haves I must have to make it a good one: espresso beans, ingredients for the recipe I want to try...and a book to read.          Carmine

Interesting facts about the Pacific Northwest

​

The Columbian Mammoth fossilized remains have been found all over the Pacific Northwest and is the official fossil of the State of Washington.

​

The Salish Sea is a combination of three bodies of water: The Strait of Georgia, Juan de Fuca Strait, and the Puget Sound. The Salish Sea is named in honor and recognition of the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Nations. 

​

Orcas Island is not named for the Orca whale. It's shortened from Horcasitas from the name of the Viceroy of New Spain who commissioned an exploration to the Pacific Northwest in the late 1700s. His full name was Don Juan Vincente de Guemes Pacheco y Padilla Horcasitas y Aguayo.
