Issaquah "Salmon Days"

We spent most of Saturday, taking part in the Salmon Days festival. We started with the parade, which was quite good and took over a hour. Lot's of bands, floats, etc. and up to the end of the parade the weather cooperated. Then the sky opened and the wind started. Made for a very damp day. We finally decided to eat inside, as french fries floating around in little paper containers didn't seem like fun. We saw many salmon returning and fighting their way up the fish ladder. An amazing thing. Didn't stay long, as the rain by this time, was falling horizontally. In spite of it all, we had a good time and will probably do it again.

No fairweather parade goers in your crew! Very impressive. Well, Zach and I missed Salmon Days up your way, and the Avocado Festival down here. We're both feeling very empty inside. :(

As you should! However, perhaps we can fill you up over the holidays with many festivities. lum
