Tight spaces

Can we uninvent them? In this day in 1901, the first person went over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Also on this day, in 1939, nylons were sold commercially for the first time.

A pig’s life: Near Darrington, a few devoted souls have jumped into the delectable world of artisan goat cheese. Their idyllic spread sounds like a dream with goats, chickens and two pigs.

Accessorize, Northwest style: Today we offer you 10 tips to make your summer clothes last into the fall. Suggestions include adding leggings, vests and chunky necklaces to your summer duds.

Let us add tip No. 11. Throw on a fleece and call yourself dressed for anything: the trail, the opera or a romantic dinner out. Ain’t living in the Northwest grand?
