The experience was incredibly hard and rewarding, I was transformed! Soon after I discovered the Pacific Crest Trail and with two friends we hiked all of Oregon. From there my travels took me to all 50 states and more than 40 countries, exploring and adventuring…. and taking pictures. Like many photographers in the beginning I was often disappointed in the images I managed to capture, and so in 2001 enrolled in a professional photography course. Learning the basics of aperture and exposure enabled me to create pictures that contained some part of the beauty I was seeing. Living in the North Cascades is a dream come true for me, not a day goes by that I am surprised at all the natural beauty around us. Andy’s image of Sahale Camp is currently on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC, as a part of the Wilderness 50 Celebration.

We opened Doleshel Park in February, a new passive park built with great thanks to volunteers with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - Marysville Stake. The Spray Park opened with a splash in June, drawing 38,000 visitors downtown in its first year. This free new attraction in Comeford Park is a place where families can find a refreshing new way to enjoy fun in the water on hot summer days. We kicked off a new maintenance program to add much-needed improvements into our neighborhood parks. We started in Foothills Park, and will focus on two neighborhood parks per year. This year, look for improvements at Tuscany Park and Parkside Way Park. In 2014, we finished the second phase of Bayview Trail, a 1.2-mile paved pathway that extends from SR 528 north to 84th Street NE. Our long-term goal is to connect with the Centennial Trail. We can’t talk about trails without mention- ing the proposed Qwuloolt Interpretive Trail. This project with eco-tourism potential would connect Ebey Waterfront Park to the Tulalip Tribes’ Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Proj- ect area, giving visitors an up-close view of intertidal marsh- lands wildlife and flora, while forging a renewed respect for the historical role this area plays in restoring salmon habitat. Get the most out of this summer with our lineup of com- munity events and entertainment including Healthy Com- munities Challenge Day June 6, and our free concerts and movies series. Lastly, while you are getting the most out of your favorite parks this year, help the City keep them clean by picking up and packing out garbage so that everyone can have a great experience in our parks. Have an enjoyable summer.
