Vaux’s Swifts in Rainier

I discovered one of the absolutely best things about the tiny town of Rainier AFTER I moved away.

Working Friends

My friends instantly changed plans so that they could help me with the UHaul. God bless real friends.

By lucky chance, I saw the Christmas ships as they sailed past my little town on Friday night.

Have you ever been to a small-town parade? They are completely unlike big parades, and have an irresistible charm.

The sea lions did not get the memo about social distancing.

I’ve been collecting photos in a folder on my desktop called “walk scenes.”

Friends made the cloudy days brighter and the cold days warmer.

From an anthropologist’s perspective, I think the rivalry is almost touching.

I was delighted to discover that one of the largest original industries in the town was the Rainier Soap Factory
