Found myself a new creative area to explore, calling it Tahoma Time, finding the views in front of these shots. Here is a few time lapses I shot over the weekend from Naches Peak, just above Chinook Pass in Washington state viewing the East side of Mt Rainier or as some say Tahoma. A name change has been in some recent conversations, since its becoming more widely known that Peter Rainier, who the mountain is currently named after never set foot in the West Coast. And to make matters more complicated, the only time he set foot in the US was to fight in the American Revolutionary War against the Americans. Tahoma or sometimes Tacoma & other variations of those pronunciations were how many local Indigenous peoples referred to it meaning "snow covered mountain".

The East side holds the largest surface area, about 4.3 sq mi / 11 km2, of any glacier in the contiguous United States. Winds on the summit that day were estimated to be around 60mph/100kmh which created this opportunity to witness swirling clouds above the peak. Where I was perched was mostly calm & warm until later that evening when wetter weather quickly blew in. While taking in the scene I noticed how much hiking opportunity there is along the ridges. Will have much more to explore this summer!

Today's Lynnwood #TeslaTakedown was around 80 people; we need new people to start showing up. But the energy was good and the drive-by response was, again, overwhelmingly positive.

I like positioning myself just north of the turnaround where they take people out for test drives so I can have the "DON'T BUY CARS FROM NAZI ASSHOLES" sign aimed right at them as they go by, still slow after the turn. I game-show point it out to them as they pass.

I imagine the Tesla employees are less than fond of that. I doubt it changes many kinds because, well, they're at the Tesla dealership despite the protest. But one never knows.

Next is Tuesday 4pm.

2 Line Eastside Bike Connector updated their map to include the new train stations opening today! If you’re seeing this on May 10th, you can go to the opening events!

Naturally, we’ve picked up the new version, and both Greater Northshore Bike Connector and MEGAMAP 1.7 – 10 May 2025 – are now available to download.

But this time, I have something to think about.

They've gone and changed their map key on me, and I'm not entirely sure what to do about that.

Beau working with Tyler, from #Esquimalt #FirstNation - crafting the maple branches for day 2 of men's group healing event. These will be used to mount the salmon we will be cooking over the fire this morning.
Beau & I are heading out to meet Tyler soon to build fire, butterfly & mount the salmon & other related preparation work.

It's a gorgeous day in Esquimalt & #Songhees territories. Sunny & warm morning!
