A joyful playground just 10 steps from the merchant tents, soft chewy cookies the size of your face, and a snazzy indoor market component are just some of the things that make the popular Puyallup Farmers’ Market extra family-friendly every Saturday from April to October at Pioneer Park.
And this is coming from someone who isn’t even a farmers’ market person!!
I know! I’m terrible! But, hear me out. Because this particular farmers market, with its chatty/helpful community vibe, is conjuring up a major change of heart for this Washington newbie.

This year, the kids and I walked across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge – something I’ve been wanting to do since we moved here!

And now I can say with certainty that the bridge walk was absolutely incredible for us, but only after I discussed a few safety rules with the kids. You’ll see why in a minute.
Read on for all the deets on how we walked the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from the Gig Harbor side.

People are always asking me for recommendations on things to do in Paso Robles, California. And even though I don’t live there anymore, I’m all for it. Here’s a list of recommendations divided by Paso’s main three geographic regions, categorized as “Eat, Sip, Do”.

The Alderbrook Resort & Spa in Union Washington is a dreamy Pacific Northwest getaway boasting rooms with a view, rare Hood Canal waterfront access and a collection of homestyle Covid-19 precautions that recently earned them national attention.
We felt pampered, taken care of, and in tune with nature. And we can’t wait to go back.
