On my refrigerator door, a magnet clip collects recipes.

Theres a stack of brown paper menus and recipes from Acme Farms

+ Kitchen, whose box of fresh, local produce and ingredients I often order at the start of a busy week. Delivered to my front porch, the box makes a gift of groceries, and I am always grateful for someone else to manage my meal planning. All thats left is to cook the dishes and enjoy. In the Dine section of this issue, youll find coverage of our latest Meet The Chef event at Judd & Black Appliances test kitchen in Mount Vernon, which featured a menu prepared by Acmes Chef Andrew Clarke. The full recipes are, as always, made available on our website.

On my refrigerator door, youll also find a set of recipe cards held together with a metal binder ring and hanging from another magnet clip. These cards are filled with my mother-in-laws cursive. Family favorites, like Auntie Marnas Banana Crunch Punch or Joans Chocolate Chip Cookies, as well as recipes for the dishes my mother-in-law has made legendary, like her apple pockets recipe.

I have often thought there is something deeply personal about exchanging recipes. As I read ingredients and directions, I am always looking for those details the author finds worthy of emphasis, the influence of their personal taste, their style for abbreviations and shorthand, and the additional words of explanation and advice these make

recipes from family and friends revealing, a glimpse into another home cooks mind.

In this issue, we are very excited to share with our readers the recipes weve gathered from local chefs. Snohomish County brims with culinary

talent, and its a joy to spotlight it. We present a full menu in celebration of

berries, the regions quintessential summer fruit. Maybe you

cherish childhood memories of hunting for wild berries,

tagging along on a visit to a u-pick farm, or helping your grandmother can freshly made jam. We encourage you to source your berries as thoughtfully as you

prepare them, and the best way to do that is

to get to know your local farmers and their growing

practices. These recipes offer plenty of inspiration for serving up

the taste of summer. Also in this issue is a guide to the amazing

outdoor adventures available in Snohomish County. There are so many ways to enjoy the diverse landscape from the coast to the Cascades. We also take a look at the aircraft that soar the skies above, as Boeing celebrates its centennial this month and the Arlington Municipal Airport hosts the annual Arlington Fly-In event.

Whether baking delicious apple pockets, cruising over waves while kite surfing, or hurtling through the air in a jumbo jet, the wonders that humans are capable of never cease to amaze me.

Enjoy the sun!


NOTES Editor's Letter

Even Dorothy just wanted to find her way home.

If only shed had a really great real estate agent.

Perhaps all the adventure of the munchkins and the yellow brick road, flying monkeys who were really scary when you think about it and the wicked witch of the west could have been avoided.

Dont we all have a little bit of Dorothy in us?

Running away from one thing hoping to find something better.

Welcome home to Whatcom Countywhere you start looking for a home and you end up with something much greater. From the Champion-ship golf courses to the unspoiled shorelines, you clearly know... youre not in Kansas anymore.

Ive always known there was a better way to practice real estate. A better way to tell the story of the home and the magic of the place. I love this land and sharing its hidden secrets that draw you near and holds you fast.

Glenda the good witch had it right all along...

Theres no place like home!

Beautiful & Thoughtful

I thought I knew what was happening in the North End/Sound region of our state as I have lived and worked here for most of my adult life. Now I realize thats not entirely true. Your magazine has opened my eyes to new & exciting gems to discover on almost every page. As an avid gardener I have found new sources that are right under my nose. In the May/June issue there was McAuliff Valley Nursery which I have never visited but is now at the top of my list for my next gardening trip adventure. Your story about the WA State ferries reminded me of my familys first ferry trip after moving back to this region so many years ago. What a phenomenal asset our state ferries are and what fond memories they bring! After reading your story I realized that I have been on every route you listed in this issue.

Thank you for a beautiful and thoughtfully put together magazine. I keep it on hand for frequent reading and use it as a resource for many months.

NOTES Letters to the Editor

NowNowNowNowNowNowNowNowNowNowNowNowNowNowNow

What is the best road trip youve ever taken and what made it special?

Get to know the team that brings you North End Metro.

We invite readers to share your answers to this issues

question on our Facebook page with #meettheteam!

KAITY: My favorite road trip is the one that brought me to Bellingham. We drove

our U-Haul through Illinois, Wisconsin,

Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana,

Idaho, and finally, Washington. After

a long journey, theres nothing like the

excitement of arriving in a new place to

call home.

MELISSA: My favorite and most memorable road trip was when we took the family RV to

California, more precisely....DISNEYLAND.

We sat driving for hours, sharing the most

memorable stories while singing our lives

away to Dr. Hook. I can still feel the bumps

in the road as I laid on the top bunk above

the drivers seat staring at the road ahead. I

was about five years old and that memory is one

that has lasted a lifetime.

MARIAH: My favorite road trip was when I went camping near the Sol Duc

hot springs with a group of friends two

summers ago. Even though the car ride

was long, there was all kinds of beautiful

scenery to take in along the way. Im also

a big fan of taking the ferry so any trip

that includes that is a plus!

BABETTE: Tulsa. Mid-1990s. I was a girl who had a lot to learn. I drove straight into

the bowels of hell with a man with no name

and a gun he called Rooster. We lived on

corn nuts, water we siphoned out of the

radiators of 18-wheelers, and Mickeys Big

Mouths, a tattered bride and a groom past his

prime. One of us made it back alive.

LISA: When I was in my late teens we took a road trip as a family to a

Montana dude ranch. My parents were

gracious enough to let me bring my

two best friends and we had a blast!

From teasing my little brothers (we still

laugh about it today) to experiencing

Yellowstone Park in all its beauty, it

was the trip of a lifetime with amazing

memories, both good and bad.

DEAN: A few years ago, my fianc, two friends, and I went to the Sasquatch! Music Festival.

As we drove into Burlington, one friend

said we needed to go back to Bellingham

because she had her moms house keys.

So we headed back and sorted that out.

When we made it back to Burlington,

traffic hit because the Skagit River Bridge

collapsed. We later learned that the bridge

collapsed about the same time when we were set

to cross it. Traffic eventually eased up and we made it

to Sasquatch! for an amazing weekend of music.

FRANCES: Its hard to choose between my two cross-country road trips one with my

husband in 2001, and one with my mom

in 2002. I remember listening to coyotes

gambol and howl at the north rim of the

Grand Canyon in 2001. I remember waking

up in The Badlands with the morning light

on the hillsides in 2002. I felt that I came away

understanding so much more about this giant, messy,

daunting, beautiful country of ours.

JENN: Honestly my road tripping days lie in my future RV around America plans,

but the best road trip to date would

have to be a totally unplanned trip

with my lifelong buddy Josh to a little

town in California called Twain Harte.

I think what made it special was that

it was just totally unplanned, throw

your stuff in the car, and go! We had the

best time lounging on the lake, cliff jumping,

playing mini golf, and just being young and dumb! Ill

never forget the great memories or his crazy driving!

Boeing Celebrates CentennialWRITTEN BY SAVANNAH JANTSCH AND KAITY TEER

It all started with a flight over Lake Union and the Model C, Boeings first production aircraft. Ever since, the Boeing name has soared through the North Puget Sound skies. This July, the trailblazing, innovative aerospace company

celebrates 100 years of business with special events, exhibits, and features.

William Boeing incorporated Pacific Aero Products Co. in July 1916. Later renamed Boeing Airplane Co., the business took off when the United States entered World War I the next year. After the war ended, the company continued its relationship with the military while also branching out into mail delivery and securing a contract with the U.S. Postal Service.

LIFESTYLE Lasting Image

Through the decades that followed, Boeing has established itself as a major player in the aerospace industry, manufacturing jetliners and pioneering space exploration. The business has constructed numerous types of aircraft, sent astronauts to the moon, and built many of the complicated parts that comprise the International Space Station.

Boeing has played an important role in Snohomish Countys economy with its Everett production facility, which is the largest manufacturing building in the world by volume. The Centennial provides many opportunities to learn about the companys history, and especially the history of its founder, William Boeing.

William E. Boeing was born in 1881 in Detroit to Wilhelm and Marie Boeing. His father left Germany when he was twenty-years-old and emigrated to the United States, where he found employment in farming. He later found work with a lumberman who eventually became his father-in-law. Wilhelm Boeing bought land in California and near what is now known as Ocean Shores, Washington.

When his father died in 1890, William Boeing was eventually sent to school in Switzerland. After his mother remarried, Boeing and his stepfather did not get along well. Boeing eventually enrolled in the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, but not for long.

As adventurous as his father, Boeing left Yale without completing his degree when he was 22 and moved to Grays Harbor, Washington, where he learned the logging business. He got started with the land he inherited from his father. In the early 1900s, when Boeing was 27, he moved to Seattle and started Greenwood Timber Co. This was back when the Smith Tower was the tallest building in the Seattle skyline, and the city had a population of about 100,000 people.

In 1914, Boeing and his good friend Conrad Westervelt celebrated Independence Day by purchasing tickets for rides on a barnstormer airplane. The rides were flown off of Lake Washington. The two of them took turns riding the airplane all afternoon and soon began discussing manufacturing airplanes.

On July 15, 1916, Boeing planned the first test flight of his aircraft. It was a seaplane/biplane Bluebill B&W (Boeing and Westervelt) Model 1. It was on that date that the worlds big-gest aerospace company began. To commemorate 100 years of the Boeing Co., celebratory events will begin on July 15, 2016, on the companys actual birthday. The Museum of Flight in Seattle will host the Founders Day Celebration, a three-day commemorative spectacle. This community celebration will include fly-ins, special shows, and unique exhibits. These events will be open to the public and family-friendly with free but limited admission.

The Centennial is a fine time for children and students to learn about flight and careers in aerospace. Above and Beyond is a brand new hands-on exhibit at the Museum of Flight. The 5,000-square-foot exhibit commemorates the aerospace of the past and explores the enterprising ideas for the future. Visitors can engage in interactive simulations that allow you to experience flight as a bird or a futuristic wing-flapping aircraft, hear stories about innovators of flight from our past and present in a series of video montages, and take a walk on the wild side through a simulated elevator ride to the edge of space. This awe-inspiring exhibit will close on September 12.

Now is also a great time to visit Snohomish Countys beloved tourist attraction, the Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour of the Everett Production Facility.

Chuck Close Exhibit at the Schack Art CenterWRITTEN BY GAREN GLAZIER

There is, perhaps, nothing so familiar to us as the human face. Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth comprise the curves, contours, and creases that make us unique. The desire to capture those features for perpetuity

runs deep, reflected in a rich history of portraiture in art. That which drove the Old Masters to record countenances in oil on canvas is what fuels todays abundance of digital selfies.

This relationship between the measured skill required to capture a likeness in previous centuries and the current ease of image-making is a central theme of Chuck Close: Prints, Process, and Collaboration now on view at the Schack Art Center in Everett.

Its the first time that an exhibition of Chuck Closes work will be shown in the community where he grew up. Born in Monroe and raised in Snohomish County, Close went on to become an internationally renowned artist, with works in many of the worlds major museums of contemporary art.

He built his impressive resume despite serious hardships along the way. These emotional and physical challenges began, tragically, with the death of his father when Close was only eleven. At fourteen, plagued by a severe learning dis-ability, he was told not to even think of attending college (he would earn his MFA from Yale in 1964). Later, in 1988, Close suffered a seizure that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

The show at the Schack, then, is a tribute not only to Closes immense talent, but also to his incredible resiliency and the creativity inspired by his adversity.

The depth of that originality is revealed in the nearly 90 prints and working proofs on display at the Schack. Each is an intimate, if often monumental, study of a face and the roadmap of human experience that it reveals. Close often

crafts these roadmaps by dividing photos he takes of each sitters head into a matrix of squares, which he then interprets with painstaking detail into his prints and paintings.

What the lens of the camera captured in the blink of an eye, Close recreates using methods requiring time and great skill, harking back to the way images were made before the advent of photography.

The show begins with an early example of this method in his first work as an established artist, Keith/Mezzotint, from 1972. Close resurrected the archaic and demanding mezzotint printmaking technique from the eighteenth cen-tury, but beyond its degree of difficulty, the work is significant because it marks the first time Close revealed the grid he used to adapt the portrait from the original photo.

After finishing Keith, the artist notes, I started doing dot drawings and other pieces in which the incremental unit was visible and ultimately celebrated in a million different ways.

Inspired by this celebration of the unit, Close went on to play with the process of breaking down and building up images in a variety of media, from woodcuts and etchings to handmade paper and tapestries, calling on a series of close collaborators to execute his artistic vision.

One of his more recent collaborations resulted in the development of a stamping technique that allows for the man-ual application of individual colors according to a grid and chart system. Its like working with a computer, Close says, but by hand, as dots of color coalesce into a unified image.

These hand-crafted pixels are a continuation of the focus on process that is at the heart of Closes creative method. Hanging amid the finished pieces in the show, and becoming like works of art in and of themselves, are progressive proofs, matrices, woodcut blocks, and etching plates that allow visitors a glimpse into Closes methodical production practices inspired by, but at odds with, the ease and speed of the digital world.

However, whats notable beyond the intensive processes, technical prowess, and artistic mastery of the images in the show is the sense of curiosity and discovery that permeates the faces on display. The satisfaction Close has in the making of his art is palpable.

I am confident that no artist has more pleasure day in and day out from what he

or she does than I do.

WHO KNEW?Car TroubleThelma and Louise have a direct ancestry to another wild woman, Bertha Benz. According to Wikipedia, Bertha was the first person to take a road trip by car. Without the consent of her husband she piled her kids into their fancy Benz Patent-Motorwagen 3 and drove from Mannheim to Pforzheim, which is about 70 miles. Pforzheim was Berthas hometown. Bertha was a capable mechanic, and repaired the cars ignition with her garter, cleared the fuel line with her hairpin, and used leather shoe soles for the break pads. At 39, this righteous babe had sand.

Easy Does ItThough my money is on Kit Carson Pass in California as the most dangerous place for motoring (long story) it has been long-established that Highway 550, known as The Million Dollar Highway in Colorado will make for a white-knuckle hell ride. People note that its the longest 25 miles theyve ever driven. The James Dalton Highway in Alaska is known for major temperature shifts, horrible high winds, and man-eating potholes. Any road known as dangerous on Ice Road Truckers should probably be a clue. Dangerous for a different reason is I-15 from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Remember the road scenes in Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas? Yeah. Like that.

Bad SignThough perhaps the 1978 Volare can give it a run for its money, The Ford Edsel has long been considered the most over-engineered lemon ever known in auto making. It was supposed to be a symbol of the future, a harbinger of our technologically brilliant future. What it became was a sign that Uncle Tony would probably also buy Miracle Cream for Aunt Louise. In other words, it became a symbol of failure and gullibility. Sort of like voting for Trump.

Escape ObjectThe BMW Isetta was a quirky little car. The hood of the vehicle served as its only door, so you basically climbed in it through the front, and god forbid you should forget and park it in a garage facing the wall. In 1963, Manfred Koster escaped Eastern Berlin for the shiny, happy West in a tiny Isetta using a secret compartment. Other vehicles used in escaping the GDR were the Volkswagen Beetle and the BMW Mini Cooper. The Stasi knew to sweep under the cars with mirrors on long poles, but they didnt always catch that extra load on the frame.

Composer Ron Jones Opens SkyMuse StudioWRITTEN BY ASHLEY HIRUKO

The composer known for scoring classic cartoons like Scooby-Doo and The Smurfs, as well as popular shows like Family Guy and Star Trek: The Next Generation, has ventured back home to Western

Washington in order to escape the crowded streets of Los Angeles and dance to his own tune once more.

Ron Jones has composed more than 40,000 pieces, according to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). Jones credits this tremendous number to the pressure put upon him to create the equivalent of one symphony a week for 37 years. Jones said that, for producers, the quality of music came second to meeting tight deadlines, and he compared this factory-like output to mass-produced hubcaps.

Jones recalled stress-induced hospital visits and late-night phone calls to his wife explaining that he wouldnt be able to make it home, sometimes for days at a time. All of this was caused by the high demands of meeting deadlines. After 15 years of working with Family Guy, the time came for Jones and his wife to leave Hollywood and seek refuge someplace else.

The pair spent time looking for property up and down the West Coast, first searching in Northern California, Southern Oregon, and after some time, eventually landing back home in Western Washington. Jones grew up in nearby Bellevue, so he was familiar with the area. But the pair didnt relocate to retire, looking instead to create something completely different to what Jones experienced in California.

A lot of people give up on something they get an RV, drink beer, and play golf, Jones said. We came up here and were actually working harder than we were there. Were actually creating something.

He called this his revenge for all those years he spent working for networks. In order to counter the scene of extreme pressure put upon artists racing against the clock, Jones and his wife have started SkyMuse Studios. The studio offers artists a different kind of music scene. Located deep within the woods between Everett and Bellingham, the objective of the studio is to create a human-friendly environment that lends itself to creativity.

When I decided to come up here, I wanted to take the best of what we did [in Hollywood], but do it in a deeper way, Jones said.

Artists are often in disbelief when they arrive at the studio and experience the welcoming nature it offers, he said. Jones is greeted with high fives and smiles from visiting artists. They are amazed by what ultimately sets the studio apart from others: its focus on the fundamentals of creativity. The same fundamentals first drew Jones to composing all those years ago.

Growing up, Jones participated in school band but it wasnt until his mother forced him and his brother into Drum and Bugle Corps that his interest in composing was sparked. There, he witnessed highly dedicated musicians who spent numerous hours a day marching and practicing in order to perfect their performance.

Jones, who was talented in many art forms, was drawn to the modular composition of music. He compared the art form to building a house and called the musical components of a symphony an abstract building material, all coming together to make a symphony. Jones said his excitement and drive for composing was fueled by the idea and possibility of what would and could be manifested.

I fell in love with the idea of creating things, creating the music from a vision, Jones said.

Its Jones vision that led him to a successful life of composing, earning numerous awards, and guest conducting with the London Philharmonic Orchestra this past November. Jones said that, looking back, his favorite scores were those that moved people to tears or emotion. Music, he said, that touched the heart and brought meaning to listeners.

Now that Jones is no longer held back by the limitations of a shows tight deadlines, he plans to focus on his new music studio and incorporate a broader, more developed musical format. He plans to create more music for himself, and plans to help other young flourishing artists do the same.

The colossal proportions of Boeings Everett Production Facility, where Boeing 747, 777, and 787 Dreamliner jets are

assembled, are the stuff of local legend. The largest manufacturing building in the world in terms of volume, it is also the only jumbo jetliner production facility open to the public in the United States, thanks to the Institute of Flight, which is the 501(c)(3) non-profit that operates the Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour in partnership with Snohomish County and Boeing.

Just two years ago, Executive Director Bonnie Hilory took the helm of the educational nonprofit, whose mission is to ignite passion for the future of aerospace. Just the person to lead such a challenge, Hilory brought to the role experience gained through decades of nonprofit leadership, includ-ing previous roles at Tukwilas Museum of Flight, where she served as director of education and founding director of the Aviation Learning Center.

As the Institute of Flights executive director, she succeeded founder Barry Smith, who launched the organization in 2003 and opened the aviation center in 2005. In its ten-year history, millions of people have visited the center and participated in the Boeing tour, mak-ing it a premier tourism attraction in Snohomish County. It is also a popular field trip destination for local school-children, where they can learn about the history of aviation, aerospace tech-nology, and careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Art, by the way, is an important addition to the more com-monly used STEM acronym. Hilory believes art and design are vital to the aerospace industry and advocated to add the A to the nonprofits educa-tional programming. She spoke mov-ingly about the aesthetic beauty of flight and said, Embracing creativity

and the creative process is so important to aircraft design.

Early on Hilory organized a com-prehensive design charrette, an imagi-native, collaborative brainstorming session that helped identify areas for growth and improvement. More than 4,000 people were invited to visit the aviation center over the course of four days and offer feedback. They scrawled ideas, questions, and comments onto giant pads of poster paper set up throughout the facility.

Hilory said, We heard wildly fun ideas, such as, we should have a slide going down the gallery! Or, lets blow this wall out and put in a mezzanine! As well as insightful questions: can we have an exhibit about space?

Hilory worked with the board to synthesize the feedback, refine several priorities, and commit to a strategic plan moving forward. A key priority was rebranding the nonprofit, which was formerly known as the Future of Flight Foundation, with a new name and logo. Rolled out in January, the result is a clearer mission and a name that helps individual and foundation donors connect with the nonprofits goals. Removing foundation from the name in favor of institute paves the way for private foundations to donate to the organizations educational proj-ects. The new name also clarifies the distinction between the Boeing Tour and the educational nonprofit that operates it.

The Institute of Flights new tag-line is where imagination soars. As proof of concept, Hilory points to the Aerospace Makers Project at the Future of Flights Makerspace, where high school students can gain skills in 3D modeling and 3D printing. Just one of the nonprofits educational programs and exhibits to help area youngsters imagine exciting careers in STEAM fields and the aerospace industry.

Traveling Abroad Made Easy at Rick Steves Europe Travel CenterWRITTEN AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY SHANNON BLACK

At home in the chic, down-to-earth seaside village of Edmonds is the Travel Center for Rick Steves Europe. Approach the building from 4th Avenue, just off Main Street, and youll get a sneak peek of

the exciting travel possibilities to come with its classic red brick exterior and sculptural stonework. Enter under the watchful gaze of gargoyles. Five steps beyond the cheerful Open flag clapping in the breeze and youre inside a one-stop resource center for European travel.

The Travel Center contains everything youll need to know before you step on the plane or even start dreaming of an overseas excursion. Youll find maps, books, DVDs, travel bags, accessories, free classes, one-on-one consulting, tour sign-ups, and a resource library with fireside seating area. Youll also find a well-traveled staff on hand to answer

questions about everything ranging from international cell phone usage to rail system know-hows and the best foodie hot spots in any given city.

The Travel Center staff is quite possibly the best resource youll find inside. All staff members regularly travel abroad and possess different skill sets and expertise. Their advice is hard-won. You wont find guesswork here, since staff members probably visited your destination very recently, maybe even last week.

Everyone has someone they can connect with. Thats why (the Travel Center) works so well, said Jenn Schutte, manager of the Travel Center. For example, if you have questions about traveling with kiddos, ask Schutte. This 22-year veteran of Rick Steves Europe travels yearly with her two children and knows what it takes to have a good time, stay on budget, and keep the whole family happy. According to Schutte, the Travel Center is its own destination. People from all over the country travel to see it and plan their trips with the Travel Centers staff. Our travel center came before almost everything else, Steves wrote to me from Normandy. Even back in the 1970s when I had my piano studio on 4th Avenue. My recital hall doubled as a clubhouse and lecture facility for travelers. Today, even though we enjoy a national presence with our teaching, I am committed to having our public gathering place for travelers to share and learn. As I used to say back in the 1970s, Were all in the same travelers school of hard knocksand its ok to compare notes.

Rick Steves Europe, which includes the Travel Center, has come a long way since the days of his hometown piano studio on 4th Ave. Most know Steves from his more than 100 public television shows or have used several of his travel guide books most notably Europe Through the Back Door, which he self published in 1980. The book is now updated yearly and published by Avalon Travel Publishing. Steves weekly travel show can also be heard on NPR or you can read his syndicated column in newspapers across the country. Time

Magazine, 60 Minutes, The Washington Post, and several other prominent media outlets frequently interview Steves for his know-how and inside travel scoops. (Heres an inside scoop: Look for future shows on Romania and possibly Cuba.)

Steves mission is to make travel accessible, affordable, smart, authentic, and perspective broadening. When an American travels, he or she has a chance to not only have a fun vacation but to become better connected to our world. Its my joy to design the information we gather through our experience in such a way that it helps our travelers enjoy maximum travel fun and meaning for every mile, minute, and dollar during their vacation, says Steves.

The more we experience other cultures and meet new people, the better we understand our world and appreciate those in it. If youre traveling for the first time or hundredth time, Rick Steves Travel Center is the place to gear up with tips, tools, and accessories.

After polling the staff on hand, be sure to check out some of their favorite accessories including: Packing Cubes, which keep all your personal items organized to avoid the typical clothing explosion at each new destination; the Veloc Shoulder Bag, a perfect size day bag that doubles as a one- or two-shoulder backpack; and the Hide-A-Way Tote that can be folded up smaller than your hands and expanded to a carry on size bag to bring home purchases and souvenirs.

If youre not ready to travel on your own, try one of the Rick Steves Europe tours, which also double as a training ground. Youll get language lessons and how-tos along the way so youll be ready for next time. More travel tips and information can be found on the in-depth Rick Steves Europe website. Bon Voyage!

SugarfinaWRITTEN BY ASHLEY HIRUKO

Sugarfina is a luxe candy store that caters to adults with a taste for the finer things in life. It recently launched a boutique inside Nordstroms Seattle flagship store. Sugarfinas candy is packaged in beautiful, brightly colored boxes and ribbons, which makes for

a tasty treat thats easy on the eyes.Unlike other candy retailers, Sugarfina focuses on high quality

ingredients. With flavors like Pale Ale Pints and Single Malt Scotch Cordials and candy imported from Holland, Germany, Denmark, and Italy, its no surprise this candy store stands out from its peers.

Most people in the U.S. have gotten used to going into a candy store and shoveling candy out of the barrel, said Rosie ONeill, co-owner of Sugarfina.

The idea for Sugarfina blossomed during the first date between ONeill and Josh Resnick, ONeills fianc and co-owner of Sugarfina. After meeting online on Match.com, the couples first date lead to lasting romance and something just as sweet, candy. They spent their third date watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. After the film, the pair pondered the lack of candy stores aimed at adult palates.

The name Sugarfina, (fina means fine in Italian), came about during another date between ONeill and Resnick, this time at an Italian restaurant. The couple had already planned on indulging the word sugar in their company name, because ONeill was all about the unapologetic.

They spent the next two years traveling the globe and cultivating partnerships with artisan candy makers. In 2012, they launched their website. Initially, they sold Sugarfina candy to friends and family.

I knew every single person buying stuff on my site, ONeill said. I kind of cyber stalked every order that came through.

But Sugarfina spread through word of mouth and after nine days, ONeill and Resnick were selling product to strangers. There were a lot of people interested in a sophisticated take on candy, ONeill said.

Today, Sugarfina has numerous boutiques located in Canada, California, and a new location set to open in Chicago in July. ONeill attributes this success to having a passionate and caring team.

When you can nail that piece of the pie everything else starts to fall in place, ONeill said.

Having a caring team and maintaining close relationships with customers has always been important to ONeill. She vowed years ago to include a handwritten note in every package. Despite the influx in sales, she still keeps that promise today, taking the time to put care and love into every transaction.

Im very lucky to be able to work on something that I love, with the love of my life, ONeill said.

SHOP Savvy Shopper

The ShopDoes a peaceful yet adventurous day on the river or lake this summer sound appealing to you? Want to try something new with the family? Or, do you live to cast a fly rod? If you answered yes to any of these questions, try visiting Pacific Fly Fishers located in the ever-growing city of Mill Creek, with easy access to both I-5 and I-405. Pacific Fly Fishers specializes in all things fly fishing and only carries the owners and managers absolute favorite items. Expect a wide selection of products packed into every shelf and corner of this discerning shop.

The AtmosphereTales of recent fishing exploits can be heard swapped at the counter and tips on favorite river adventures in the aisle ways. Pacific Fly Fishing feels easy and sincere, like an anglers hangout or the bait shops of simpler times. All are welcome, beginners to experts. Everyone just wants to be on the water, living their next fishing story, eager to regale friends around tomorrows cup of coffee.

Key PeopleOwner Michael Bennett opened Pacific Fly Fishers in 2004. His love for fly fishing has taken him from the waterways of Alaska to Belize. He specializes in steelhead, stillwater trout, and bass fly fishing. The store manager Ben Zanders fishing often takes him to the saltwater beaches of Puget Sound, where he guides walk-in and boat fly-fishing trips for sea-run cutthroat trout. Youll also find Joe Ewing at the shop, offering

expertise and guided tours, like steelhead fly fishing throughout Washington.

What Youll FindYoull find an incredible inventory of top notch fly-fishing gear and accessories from waders, rods, lines, and reels, to flies, fly tying materials, float tubes, and clothing. So what if youre a beginner and dont know where to start? Bennetts got you covered. As a beginner walking into Pacific Fly Fishers, I would recommend walking right up to the counter and asking for how to get started, he said. We offer classes as a good starting point, but also walk you through some beginning rod and reel outfits and maybe talk to you about waders and boots. These are usually the first purchases someone makes when getting into the sport.

Owners Favorite Summer Spots In July, I usually spend some time looking for steelhead on the Skykomish. In August, I often take a trip to the lower Deschutes River in Oregon for steelhead. Other great mid-summer trips would be a float trip down the Yakima River for trout or walking/wading the middle or south fork of the Snoqualmie River above the falls, Bennett said. As for kids and families, usually small lakes are the best bet for younger kids. These smaller lakes tend to have lots of species of warm-water fish, like perch, bass, and various panfish, as well as trout. In the late spring and summer months, these fish can be plentiful and are a good target for kids since anglers can often catch quite a few of them in a day.

Stretch and Sip Your Way to Saturday Morning BlissWRITTEN BY KAITY TEER

Instructor Carly Hayden rewards students who attend her YogaMosa class Saturday mornings at Bluewater Organic Distilling with an extra long savasana, or corpse pose. Savasana is the final relaxation pose of a typical yoga

practice. After an hour of stretching, breathing, and balancing, students lie flat on their backs, close their eyes, and scan their bodies for tension. They embrace stillness and focus on relaxing each part, feeling the sensation of sinking into the earth, and experiencing release with every breath.

WELLBEING

Hayden described the joy she feels when she watches her students emerge from savasana. When my students rise to a seated position after savasana, its wonderful to see their blissful smiles, she said. For me, the most rewarding thing about teaching yoga is savasana. I almost feel like a mother putting a room full of toddlers to sleep. Its amazing that this is my lifes work helping people feel more comfortable in their bodies and find the peace and rest that we all need but have a hard time giving ourselves.

On select Saturday mornings you can find Haydens students unfurling their yoga mats on the floor of the Bluewater Organic Distilling tasting room, located at the Everett Marina. The beautifully appointed tasting room even includes a wooden platform for Hayden to demonstrate postures at the front of the class, making it easy to imagine yourself at a waterfront yoga studio instead of a tasting room. The soft lighting and Haydens carefully curated playlist offer a serene, motivating atmosphere.

It was an overcast late spring morning when I attended YogaMosa at Bluewater Organic Distilling. Taking in the marinas views in the chilly morning air before class was as invigorating as the promise of an inspiring practice and a refreshing drink. The vinyasa flow class was designed for yoga students of all levels, including beginners, but also offered ample challenges, including core work and a series of side planks that had us all sweating.

This class tends to be a little bit sweatier than your typical yoga class, Hayden said. We definitely work for our cocktail, but I try to build in a nice long cool down and a very long savasana. At the end, you feel as if youve really earned the reward of rest and a cocktail.

I enjoyed Haydens playlist, too, which had the standard fare youd expect as well as a few surprises in the form of well-chosen throwback songs (Blackstreets No Diggity) and even an EDM track (by local favorite, Odezsa).

Haydens approach to yoga is to help her students develop joint stability which helps to reduce injuries during yoga and other activities in addition to muscle flexibility and

strength. She owns Catalyst Yoga and teaches a variety of classes in addition to YogaMosa, including stand-up paddleboard yoga, corporate classes, and retreats. A lot of people come into yoga wanting flexibility, and thats a very important part of yoga, of course. But my biggest goal as a yoga teacher is to help my students create more ease in their bodies, to make sure that were moving in ways that are sustainable long term. So I try to strike a balance between joint stabilization and muscle flexibility.

I attend yoga classes several times a week. By comparison, YogaMosa offers a kind of camaraderie I havent always experienced. Often, I find that everyone, myself included, is eager to rush off to work or family obligations after class. That YogaMosa takes place on a leisurely Saturday morning and offers a cocktail hour afterward makes for a heightened sense of connection. Still feeling the warm glow after savasana, we introduced ourselves and made small talk while our mimosas were prepared.

Melody Todd first attended YogaMosa six months ago. She said she enjoys it so much she often brings a friend with her and is even having a private YogaMosa class for her upcoming birthday party. YogaMosa is different from other yoga classes because it offers a fun networking and connection aspect after practice unlike a typical gym yoga session, Todd said, Most recently, a group of us capped off the experience over a delicious lunch at the Bluewater restaurant. We werent ready to leave!

Bluewater staff members often join in as well, making the yoga class a unique way to get to know the distillers and mixologists who work behind the scenes to deliver delicious sparkling craft cocktails at the end of practice. Never boring, you can expect more than just orange juice and champagne. The cocktails are always sparkling, seasonal, and a surprise.

YogaMosa is a fun, friendly way to build a little more fitness into your weekend. Feel free to bring a friend or family member to enjoy a cocktail and a workout. Hayden calls the class a simple pleasure, a little luxury, and an opportunity to build friendship around fitness.

Five Minutes Flat, Take TwoOur beauty expert Shannon Mercil offers another fast, fabulous five-minute beauty look.

WRITTEN BY SHANNON MERCIL

Meet Whitney, a 28-year-old mother who values natural ingredients when purchasing beauty products. Like many of the women Ive worked with over the years, Whitney sought a complete

makeup routine that didnt require spending loads of time in front of the mirror.

She was especially interested in finding a bold lip color and said, I dont wear much makeup on a daily basis, so I would love to learn something easy that I can do for a date night.

After her makeup demonstration, Whitney said, I love how the foundation matches and doesnt feel heavy like Im wearing a ton of makeup! I feel put together and the lips are such a fun alternative to the brown lips gloss Ive worn for years!

STEP 1: CONCEAL AND HIGHLIGHT

Apply a liquid or cream concealer over top of blemishes, under the eyes, on top of the cheekbones, and out to the temple. Blend using a stippling motion. If you have normal to oily skin and prefer a powder foundation, I have found that liquid products blend much better underneath powders.

We used bareMinerals bareskin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer ($20). For a less expensive natural alternative try Physicians Formula Super BB All-In-1 Beauty Balm Concealer ($12.95).

STEP 2: COVER

For oily skin, powder foundations are the way to go when you want lasting coverage in a hurry. Use a dense powder or kabuki brush. Dip the brush into your loose or pressed mineral powder and buff onto the skin using a circular motion. Repeat until you receive the desired coverage.

We used bareMinerals Matte Foundation Golden Medium ($22). Maybelline Mineral Power is a close alternative at only $11.

STEP 3: CONTOUR

Powder contour products are best for normal to oily \skin. Their dry texture blends more smoothly over a power foundation. With a medium-sized blush or powder brush, apply bronzer or contour powder to the top of the forehead near the hair line, into the cheekbones, into the hollows, and just under the jaw line and chin. We used NYX Cheek Contour Duo Palette Two to Tango ($9). For a natural alternative, try bareMinerals READY Bronzer ($25).


WELLBEING Beauty

STEP 4: BROW

Achieve a fuller looking brow in a hurry with a thin automatic pencil (preferably one with a spoolie on the other end for blending). Draw a line just under your natural brow following the shape and just above, fill in using light feather strokes and blend. Make sure the inner part of your brow comes in at least as far as the inner corner of your eye and the outer corner of your brow lines up with your pencil if you hold it from the outer edge of your eye to the temple.

We use NYX Micro Brow Pencil Espresso ($10). For a natural alternative try tarte Amazonian Clay Pot Liner ($21).

STEP 5: SHADOW

Using a medium size rounded shadow brush, dip into your contour or bronzing powder (used in step 3) and shade into the crease and slightly above, blending onto the brow bone. One thing to remember is that there are no rules when it comes to makeup products, so be creative. In a pinch, I even use my matte lipsticks in place of a cream blush from time to time!

STEP 6: LINE

To define and open up the eye in a subtle way use an automatic pencil in black or black brown. Start thin at the center and make the line fuller as you approach the outer edge. Flair it out just past the edge of your eye for a subtle winged effect. We used Palladio Waterproof Herbal Liner ($6) in black brown. This is my go-to product when I am out of my Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil ($20). The Palladio liners last just as long and are a quarter of the cost.

STEP 7: MASCARA

Apply one to two coats of mascara. Coat the top and bottom of your lashes to get maximum volume. We used Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-In-1 Mascara ($10). This mascara is quickly becoming my new favorite. I love how it lifts, curls, and separates like a dream. Tarte is a great makeup line, consisting of high-end natural ingredients.

STEP 8: LIPS

Apply a lip crayon or chubby pencil the same way you would apply a lipstick. Lip crayons and chubby pencils save time when you are applying vibrant or deeper colors as they allow a greater precision than lipstick alone and prevent the need for lip liner. For a fun pop of color, we used Maybelline Color Blur Plum Please ($9), which is an excellent drugstore dupe for MAC Diva Lipstick ($17).


Coal LakeWRITTEN AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY KEN BRANTINGHAM

Enjoy a secluded mountain lake without a long trek or climb. The trail to Coal Lake is more of a jaunt to waters edge and a starting point to explore further. In this neck of the woods, the crowds are sparse, the

cedars are old growth, and the water is clear and swimming is encouraged.

The hike to the lake may be short, but the road to the trailhead is 4.4 miles of dirt road. Forging such forest roads will get you places, such as Independence Lake, Kelcema Lake, Boardman Lake, and Ashland Lakes. These lakes are accessed from various forest roads off the Mountain Loop Highway between Granite Falls and Darrington. Before heading out on a forest service road, check in at the Verlot Ranger Station-Public Service Center for road conditions. They do get washed out on occasion.

With Forest Service Road 4052 to Kelcema Lake washed out, we changed course to Coal Lake on the suggestion of

Ranger Erica Keene. Its stunning up there. A gorgeous high alpine lake, she said. The water is blue and swimming is definitely ok. She warned that the fishing isnt great.

The fishing and solitude is exactly what brought Ken from Bothell to the lake. Its my first time here, he said. I was the only one all morning. I prefer where there arent others. From his float tube, hes fly fishing for brook trout known as brookies. A gorgeous fish, said Ken.

Two trails lead to the lake and join far on the other side. The sloped right side is covered with old growth cedars that come down to the waters edge. The trail bends up and around the steep grade with the water below changing from a deep blue to an olive green with the turning of the suns reflection. Its soft with loose dirt and decomposed wood. This trail turns out to be more of a climb than a walking path.

On the opposite side, the tree line ends hundreds of feet above the lake. An avalanche of large granite rock creates an embankment from which to admire the scenery or drop in a line. Though fewer trees, the east side sprouts wild white and purple trillium flowers. Salmonberry plants with purple flowers. Also, skunk cabbage and a little yellow flower called stream violet (Viola glabella). These are tucked under and


WELLBEING Trail Review

Length: .1 to 1.5 miles round-trip Elevation Gain: NoneTrail Condition: DirtDirections: From the Verlot Public Service Center, located 11 miles east of Granite Falls, WA, travel east on the Mountain Loop Highway for 15 miles. Turn left (north) on the Coal Lake Road (Forest Service road 4060). Continue 4.4 miles to a gravel parking area with an information kiosk and bathroom on your left.

between the rocks along the shore where the best views of the lake are. If you can brave the cold, its an ideal place to swim.

Coal Lake is popular for dispersed camping. There is no developed campground so campers find a nook some- where around the lake. Black embers mark the favored camping spots.

Arriving late, Donald and his sizable group camped in the parking area next to the information kiosk and bathroom. Ive been coming here since I was a kid, said Donald. My dad used to take us here. I love the woods more than anywhere else. With multiple vehicles encircled around their makeshift camp, the group came well prepared. Children played while parents ringed the campfire. We love it here, said Kerri, snuggled warmly in a folding chair. People drive up here and they wave to you. In the city, they dont do that.

Friends Mark and Kenny are at the lake for the first time. We drove down from Bellingham this morning, just venturing out. said Mark. They were intrigued by Coal Lake after camping nearby last September. During winter, the lake is inaccessible without snowshoes. The pair like solitude and maybe werent so crazy about the group camping in the parking lot.

Its remote and peaceful. Not fished out, and away from people. Limited access, said Kenny. Each brought a kayak and will spend the afternoon fly fishing for cutthroat trout, hoping for an 8 to 14 catch. What they catch they dont keep but throw back.

They dont stock this lake, said Mark. If everyone took home everything they caught, there wouldnt be any fish. Despite Ranger Keenes caution about the poor fishing, the lake is visibly teaming with jumping fish. Soon the two men set out across the quiet lake and position themselves near the trees on the west side.

At 3,420 feet elevation, Coal Lake is among the highest of the Mountain Loop Highway lakes, yet accessible with a short scramble with no elevation gain. Hazards are few and children will find it enchanting. Go slowly on the forest road. Along one stretch there is barely enough room for cars to pass.

Hiking is optional. It is instinctive to try to circumnavigate the lake. Try to abandon this idea since the lake is best enjoyed waterside. Along Mountain Loop Highway heading east, the trailheads are packed solid with cars. At the other extreme is Coal Lake, remote and welcoming.

Palatine Passive HouseWRITTEN BY KAITY TEER

The Palatine Passive House by Architect Tiffany Bowie of Malboeuf Bowie Architecture was one of eight homes featured during the 2016 Seattle Modern Home Tour in April. Bowie, a certified passive house

consultant, fielded questions from tour guests curious about passive construction. Many people werent familiar with the concept of a passive house, so it was a great educational opportunity, Bowie said.

Thanks to its efficient design, the 2,700-square-foot urban infill project boasts energy usage up to 90 percent less than standard building code requirements. The home earned certification as a passive house in April. Its technological efficiencies include an airtight envelope, continuous high-performance insulation, and managed solar gain, as well as the home management and control system Kirio, which monitors the homes systems, appliances, and even lighting. A continuously filtered heat and moisture recovery ventilation system offers excellent air quality and temperature-control, making the home exceptionally healthy and comfortable.

Its stunning herringbone faade and clean, modern landscaping make it a good aesthetic addition to the tree-lined streets of the Greenwood neighborhood. Bowie worked with architect Joe Malboeuf, her husband and business partner, to treat the cedar siding in the manner of shou sugi ban, a Japanese art form for charring cedar. Her father, for whom the home was designed, also pitched in to help with the charring and sealing process. In addition to its rich, elegant patina, the treatment protects the wood and prevents the need for maintenance. The herringbone pattern was intended to meet at 45-degree angles, but the roofs pitch was adjusted to slightly less than 45 degrees in order to keep the roofs height within neighborhood restrictions. That made cutting and installing the siding slightly trickier, but the end result was worth it.

The homes dark exterior means visitors are in for a surprise when they step inside. Bowies father, a retired energy consultant who enthusiastically embraced the passive house concept, has lived abroad in Japan and Scandinavia, and the homes design reflects both influences. The interior is voluminous, bright, and filled with light, natural finishes. Large windows were strategically placed to maximize daylight. The floor plan offers three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a loft. The master bedroom design features an open sink and shower with a separate water closet. Bowies go-to white paint color, Eider White by Sherwin-Williams, is used throughout the home.

Joe and I are influenced by Scandinavian architecture that exhibits simple forms, clean lines, natural materials, and thoughtful daylighting, Bowie said. We like keeping our designs simple while adding in our own unique details or using materials in new ways.

ENERGY EFFICENT HEATING AND COOLING FOR YOUR HOME

Mid-Century MakeoverWRITTEN BY TANNA EDLER

PHOTOGRAPHED BY GARY REQUA - NATURAL PHOTOSCAPES

Good things do come in small packages! Bringing back the bright was our design goal for this tiny ranch home. Every square foot was important; therefore, scale and proportion played a huge role

in this little space. A refreshing paint palette, additional windows, and new cabinets with open shelving proved that minor changes can provide substantial results. It doesnt take a lot of construction to freshen up a small space.

The ranch home was originally designed to be both affordable and manageable for small families. Today, designers like me are enjoying remodeling projects that feature imaginative updates for this style of home. Bringing updates to these mid-century beauties is often fun and rewarding.

When planning the update for this home, we sought to create a better place, not merely more space. The 1,400 square-foot one level was adequate for a familys needs but lacked a cohesive flow from room to room, and overall the home was just plain boring.

How did we make this little house shine?

The makeover in the kitchen proves a little can go a long way. The painted gray cabinetry adds a contemporary contrast and dimension to this modest house.

The new design opened up all of the main rooms into a suite of distinct yet interconnected spaces. At times, many ranch remodels create too much openness, resulting in the loss of character. Spaces go undefined and blend too much. So we focused on creating a charming, layered space, working with the existing architecture. While the ceiling is high throughout we kept the quirky trellis-like over hang which forms a floating horizontal plane, defining the family room and kitchen; the effect is dramatic and harkens to the houses vintage roots.

This recipe was inspired by a Strawberry-Basil salsa that I serve with Apple Wood Grilled Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops. My daughter in-law liked the salsa so much she was eating it without the pork chop, so I decided to make a soup with similar flavors. We are always looking for flavorful ways to serve chilled soups in the summer and this one is so refreshing.
