10 things to make the most of summer’s end
It seems strange to write about the end of summer when it's only just begun in Seattle. The weather here is famously gloomy, even during the sun-basking months of June and July. Yes, it's kind of a bummer; but "carpe diem" takes on new meaning on a spectacular sunny...
