So much for the nice cool part of our trip. Outside Yakima yesterday it was 113 degrees. It was only 100 when we stopped for the night in Goldendale, WA. Phew! Eastern Washington looks like Arizona without cactus until you get to the huge hay farms. Lots of dry rolling hills and heat. We hear Roseville is a lot cooler than we are experiencing. Today we are on our way to Bend where there is a pool and kids and space for the dogs to run.
Our last night in Edmonds, Mom and Gary and I went out to a nice dinner on the waterfront where we could watch the ferry we didn't have time to ride. It is such a beautiful view with the huge expanse of water and the Olympic Mts. in the background. If you have never been to the Seattle area, you really need to see it. Try to get there when the mountains are out. Not easy, but worth the effort.Gary just spotted 4 antelope in a field along the Highway. There were several deer right outside our RV last night along with a few bunnies, so the dogs had a good time sniffing.
These last two photos were taken as we drove through the Cascade Mountains on our way to Snoqualmie Pass. The dandelions are very healthy at the summit. I could have picked a whole bouquet with long stems.

Whew that is hot! I think the only reason it's not as hot in California is all the smoke insulating us from the direct sunlight! :P Today is the first blue sky today peeking through, and I can see the city from my window at work for the first time in over a week!
Loved the photos! Good job!
We went to a restaurant outside of Seattle - years ago - famous - large! One of my favorite view restaurants ever. Great seafood, too.
Clear skies and nice breeze. Great timing to come home.
