I was at Heaven Sent to try the famous chicken for the first time and also to learn how to make sweet potato pie this Thanksgiving for my family.
When I was a kid Halloween was the only thing that made then end of summer and going back to school tolerable.
My kids and I were at Renton City Hall to tour the REACH Center of Hope, a day shelter in Renton that also provides hot showers, food, vocational and professional services and a loving supportive community.
Jake and Riley were born in the same local hospital on the same day. They lived on the same block their whole lives and went to the same schools in the Issaquah School district. They’ve been best friends their whole lives and since they were little they’ve been passionate about starting a business together.
I’m a sucker for those big Mason jars with homespun labels at farmers markets that say Blackberry or Wildflower honey…
It’s actually ironic because if someone would have told me I was going to have five children, I wouldn’t have believed them. When I was a kid, I never even babysat!
“Come on Patrick!” Coach Bobby’s voice booms across Kinder Swimmer’s Renton Highlands pool. “One arm! Two arm! Eyes and bubbles.” Bobby continues on with Patrick’s weekly swim lesson.
Art’s effect on kids cannot be measured in widgets and quantitative data.

Columnist Carolyn Ossorio explores rumors at the Renton Airport.

The Fed bought the land from Boeing in 2008 and built a new high-tech facility (which from the distance resembles a college campus) that opened in 2011.
Renton Hill boasts a phenomenal view of Renton, Lake Washington and all the way to downtown Seattle. On these Renton Hill walks I always had a babe on my back or in a stroller (or both). It was a time for me to enjoy the varying seasons, the incredible view and ponder the universe, all the while keeping an eye out for a pesky forest-green Audi.

When I was a kid, my sister and I loved making forts and designing elaborate sketches for our summer plans of living in a tree house on a wild and deserted island.
Owner, Mary Clymer, will close the doors of her trendy crafts and art shop and look to a new direction, even if it takes her outside of Renton.
As a busy mom to four kids ranging in age from 2 to 12 we always make the Seattle rounds: King Tut’s exhibit at the Pacific Science Center, Folk Life Festival, Bumbershoot, Woodland Park Zoo, beachcombing on Alki.
And when we do, a trip to Molly Moon’s Ice Cream shop is always on the dangling carrot on our itinerary, the covenant entered into between parent and child: ice cream treat at the end of whatever adventure were on – if you’re good.
The garage door whooshed open and my kids and I were greeted on the other side by Lori Church-Pursley and her adorable “half-golden-lab-half-polar-bear” Jake.
Lori’s daughter, 3-year-old Rose, walked up to me and sheepishly handed me a stuffed dog toy.
“Thank you, Rose.” I said.
