Day Trip to Mount Rainier
When we booked a 12-hour day trip from Seattle, Washington, to Mount Rainier National Park, it didn’t occur to us that we might not actually get to see the mountain.
For us Midwesterners, we figured that the massive, 14,410-foot-tall active volcano would stick out like a sore thumb. That was not the case. Read more about our hunt for Mount Rainier:

Tacoma (/təˈkoʊmə/ tə-KOH-mə) is a mid-sized urban port city in and the county seat of Pierce County, Washington, United States. The city is on Washington's Puget Sound, 32 miles (51 km) southwest of Seattle, 31 miles (50 km) northeast of the state capital, Olympia, and 58 miles (93 km) northwest of Mount Rainier National Park. The population was 198,397, according to the 2010 census. Tacoma is the second-largest city in the Puget Sound area and the third largest in the state. Tacoma also serves as the center of business activity for the South Sound region, which has a population of around 1 million people.
Tacoma adopted its name after the nearby Mount Rainier, originally called Takhoma or Tahoma. It is locally known as the City of Destiny because the area was chosen to be the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century. The decision of the railroad was influenced by Tacoma's neighboring deep-water harbor, Commencement Bay. By connecting the bay with the railroad, Tacoma's motto became When rails meet sails. Commencement Bay serves the Port of Tacoma, a center of international trade on the Pacific Coast and Washington State's largest port.
Like most central cities, Tacoma suffered a prolonged decline in the mid-20th century as a result of suburbanization and divestment. Since the 1990s, developments in the downtown core include the University of Washington Tacoma; Tacoma Link, the first modern electric light rail service in the state; the state's highest density of art and history museums; and a restored urban waterfront, the Thea Foss Waterway. Neighborhoods such as the 6th Avenue District have become revitalized.
Tacoma has been named one of the most livable areas in the United States.[8] In 2006, Tacoma was listed as one of the most walkable cities in the country.[9] That same year, the women's magazine Self named Tacoma the Most Sexually Healthy City in the United States.[10] In contrast, Tacoma was also ranked as the most stressed-out city in the country in a 2004 survey.[11]
Tacoma gained notoriety in 1940 for the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which earned the nickname Galloping Gertie.

Bonita Entwistle wants to leave her union
Bonita provides care for her friend Robyn 5 days a week. For years she has been paying dues to SEIU 503, She was delighted when the Freedom Foundation told her about a supreme court decision Harris v. Quinn which allows her to leave the union and not have to pay union dues. Her delight was cut short when SEIU told her that she could not leave due to a deceptive barrier that the union had put up, forcing her to continue to pay union dues. Bonita has been trying to leave by sending in her opt out form every two weeks to the union for over 18 months! SEIU 503 still will not let her leave and they continue to take hundreds of dollars from her without her permission. The Freedom Foundation has filed a lawsuit in order to get her out the union and stop this scheme.
