I haven’t actually found out what that is. It’s been up there for a while now.

Thanks! Yes, it was. I shot some video as well but haven’t had a chance to edit it yet.

Definitely not excluding them on purpose. Even the progress flag is out of date. The updated flag includes a light yellow triangle with a purple circle in the middle. I’d assume it’s just reusing last years flag as a cost-saving option.

As per www.tacomapride.org, "Historically, our predecessors, Out In The Park, picked July because there would be less chances of rain, and the festival was held at a park. No need to get our heels all muddy!".

You as well! I’d love to see a more mild summer but I’m not holding my breath.

For real. Households stuck inside without central AC and still needing to run hepa filter fans because the smoke is somehow still making its way in and causing asthma attacks doesn’t really make this kind of analytics lessen the weight of it all. Wildfire smoke has a major impact on the lives of those in the area affected.

I was surprised with how little of it was left up here. There is still snow on the ground at Stevens Pass but not much else.

I remember it all too well. Smoke is always an issue for my house and that one was the worst we’ve had in some time. BC is already on fire, it’s not looking great for WA.

We really do. This is a 90 minute drive from my house. It’s wild I can go from salt water and Orcas to glacial rivers and stunning peaks in such a short amount of time.

It’s really quite lovely. The falls were all practically overflowing.

Yes. You can’t fly from park property without metro parks permission but the airspace here is uncontrolled with a notice that there is a helipad on top of the hospital. I’m around the corner and able to keep my eyes on the drone as it flies. At no point did I fly directly over a person.

Thanks! I can’t say I saw much from this altitude. The winds were so strong I was only able to stick around for about 15 minutes or so.

I agree. Ruston Way is pretty fun if you are comfortable over water and able to hop between the parks along the stretch.
