CurrywurstSo last week we bbq’ed. We’ve done that a whole lot since the first rays of spring hit our deck out back. Never thought that I would get some much into bbq’ing, but after the long week in front of the computer firing up the grill with my 4 year old next to me is as close to perfection as it gets… oh, wait, turning on the Sounders Game on a Saturday is. And a glass of wine or a cold beer and the wife and the little girl… well, you get the picture. I love my family and I love food.

    Now there are different types of food lovers out there. Some go into the direction of very fine dining and need a lobster on the grill. Some like it cheap and dirty, the greasier the burger the trashier the fries the better, Dicks anyone?? [more]

Downtown Together - 09.06.26

After several updates from different downtown organizations, we moved into the latest developments around the estuary. From there the conversation turned to The Port of Olympia’s selection of Tarragon to develop the East Bay area in downtown Olympia, which naturally led to urban development. [more]
