In 1932, L.J. Skaggs opened PayLess Drug Stores in Tacoma, Washington, which soon expanded across the western United States. Some stores were sold to his brother Samuel "L.S." Olnie Skaggs, along with some colleagues. L.J. Skaggs retained California PayLess Stores, which eventually became part of Thrifty PayLess. The remaining PayLess stores were renamed Skaggs Drug Stores in 1948, and Skaggs Drug Centers in 1965. The chain grew through both acquisition and internal expansion. By 1984, PayLess Drug Stores was the largest independently owned and operated drug store chain in the United States. In 1986, there were 225 PayLess stores, and by 1990, PayLess operated in nine western states before being acquired by a larger national chain.

One of my most fascinating encounters to date: a small co-ed flock of Hooded Mergansers put in a two-hour "cameo" appearance (and extended courtship displays) at Centennial Beach in early February 2015. For more than half an hour, I was totally entranced by the courtship displays of the four males as they attempted to entice the two females into noticing them with head raises, bobs, and frog-like croaking. The ladies, of course, were less than impressed. Photographed at Boundary Bay Regional Park, in Tsawwassen, BC, Canada.

Portland ruins everything, even your retro geeky pride.

Fort Lewis was a United States Army post from 1917 to 2010 located 9.1 miles south-southwest of Tacoma, Washington. Fort Lewis was merged with McChord Air Force Base on February 1, 2010 to form Joint Base Lewis–McChord. Fort Lewis, named after Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was one of the largest and most modern military reservations in the United States. Consisting of 87,000 acres of prairie land cut from the glacier-flattened Nisqually Plain, it is the premier military installation in the northwest and is the most requested duty station in the army. The design is a throwback to the many souvenir tees sold over the decades from businesses outside of the base along I-5.

Long known as the craziest restaurant in Spokane, Washington, Cyrus O'Leary's might be best described as a restaurant disguised as an antique menagerie. Established in 1980 on the corner of Main and Stevens in the heart of Downtown Spokane, the restaurant's interior was adorned with hundreds of antiques, curiosities, oddities, and one of a kind, original sculptures. Of course, decor can only take a place so far, but thankfully for Cyrus O'Leary's, their kitchen turned out an expansive menu that kept folks coming back for decades. It also didn't hurt that their top shelf bar offered over 300 specialty drinks and hosted a regular late night happy hour.

In January of 2018 I had found Cape Disappointment after a long rainy drive through Oregon and decided to go a bit further north and drove into Washington where the weather cleared and I was able to see my first amazing West Coast Sunset. The following year in August of 2019 I decided to take another Pacific Northwest Trip. This day started off with a sunrise at Mt Rainier only fog took over and I never saw a sunrise. So kinda bummed I headed over to Cape Disappointment and found the North Head Lighthouse. At the time they were doing renovations and you could only go to a certain point on the trail before you had to stop. This was the stopping place. As I stood here I noticed the sun sinking down and getting closer and closer to where th...

The venue that would become known as Natacha's originally opened their doors as Perl's Ballroom back in 1934. From a large wooded lot off of Arsenal Way in Bremerton, Washington, Perl's hosted blues and rock n roll acts from across the country nightly for decades. In 1971, Perl sold her business to Bill Sesko, who renamed the establishment for his wife, Natacha. The venue continued to host rock acts throughout the '70s, but in the '80s Natacha's became a popular spot for punk, hardcore, and metal bands. This was turned up to 11 in the mid '80s when Seattle implemented the TDO (Teen Dance Ordinance) which all but made it illegal to host all ages shows in the city, so many shows were now a ferry ride away in Bremerton at Natacha's.

If you grew up in the Bothell area of Washington State, you're probably familiar with Bill's Dairy, a 30-acre farm that sat along Interstate 405, at Northeast 160th Street for nearly 60-years. Norwegian immigrant Knut Knutsen started out in 1904 by taking his cow around Seattle's Capitol Hill and milking it door to door, eventually making enough money to buy land for the land in Bothell in 1936. Soon the Knutsens were raising their own cows and goats, bottling their own milk and selling it around the Eastside. Bill's Dairy was among the first dairies in the area to pasteurize milk, eventually serving more than 1,000 customers, including local schools and grocery stores, plus Bill's sold direct to residential customers right from the farm.
