Autumn is peeking in the window


It is 81F here in Mukilteo, WA but fall is peeking in the window. The longest, hottest and driest summer in history here in the Seattle area is about to end. I am so ready for rain.

Perrine Bridge, from Elevation 486


I was at Elevation 486 shortly after they opened some years ago, nice to return and do a sketch of the bridge. Perrine Bridge is the 8th highest Bridge in America, a BASE jumping site known around the world. But just a beautiful view of the Snake river.
