Ann, I have a fond feelings for Washington. When my brother and I needed rescuing off this trail, the only contact we could make with help was via 911 Washington. The desire to help – and support – other humans is so apparent along the coast. People help people wherever they come from. Land, sea, other continents or countries. The donkey engine and Freedom are wonderful examples of that.

The fact that a rusting old structure serves as an historic interpretive sign is a cool reframe.

A favorite layer of the story of my “city” of Freeland, WA is the name itself. Sure enough, the original settlers offered people free land. It was a commune of sorts. Nice reminder that our city comes from liberal stock!
