I'm not sure I even count as a photographer in the Pacific Northwest if I haven't posted any pictures from a ferry. Here's a few from a recent back-and-forth across Puget Sound for an assignment on an exceptionally clear day a couple weeks back.

A couple weeks ago I followed along as volunteers from the disaster relief organization Team Rubicon removed burnable material from Zintel Canyon in Kennewick, Washington, as part of an effort to mitigate wildfires in the area. Kennewick has a higher fire risk than 92% of U.S. communities. Team Rubicon was started by a US Marine Corps veteran in 2010, traveling to Haiti after that year's devastating earthquake and has grown to include more than 160,000 volunteers helping respond to or mitigate disasters both in the US and internationally. Photographed for Crosscut/CascadePBS ( @cascadepbs ).

Thanks to Genna for taking the pitch and to Mai for her reporting on the piece, published this week on the Cascade PBS website.

(took a little break from posting over the past few weeks, but hopefully I'll get back into the regular swing of things)

Volunteers with International Nutritional Sustainable Partners unloaded, sorted, and distributed fresh food including vegetables, butter, and fruit, at a drive-thru food distribution event held in Redmond, Washington, a couple weeks ago. Food prices are still up more than 25% than what they cost before the COVID-19 pandemic, five points higher than other consumer prices. INSP has been distributing food in the region since six days after the spring 2020 lockdown and now aims to hold similar events monthly. On this day in Redmond, the group estimates that more than 1400 people received some of this food. INSP uses donated money to purchase food to distribute from local farmers as much as possible, sometimes handing out food that has been picked the previous day on a nearby farm. Photographed for Bloomberg.

After record rain fall during an atmospheric river weather event earlier this week, the Snoqualmie River flooded roads and farmland in rural King County south of Duvall, Washington, yesterday.

Pam and Lucy Felton are the mother and sister of Harold Felton, a construction worker who died in a trench collapse on the job in 2016. Six years after the death, Harold Felton's boss was sentenced to 45 days in jail on criminal charges relating to the death, the first time an employer was held criminally liable for a worker death. Pam and Lucy have been part of the push to get Washington's Department of Labor and Industry and King County officials to hold employers accountable for deaths on the job. They brought photos of Harold over the years including one of him holding his three-month-old daughter Gracie about a month before he died (image 2).

Photographed in West Seattle for Crosscut ( @kcts9 ). The last image is a screenshot of how it ran yesterday on the Crosscut homepage.

Thanks to Genna for the assignment!

Celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day today in Seattle. The City of Seattle officially recognized the holiday in 2022, one of the few cities in the US to do so, after years of protesting to abolish Columbus Day.

One of my favorite things about moving to a new place is getting to be a tourist where you live. Here's a few from the past few days around Seattle. (And funny to be back around so many Red Sox fans again at the Mariners game last night...)
