Royce, 68, of Lynnwood, Washington, is unable to work and has been selling her possessions in order to afford rent in her apartment. She's lived in Destinations Lynnwood since 2018, when it was managed by Sustainable Housing for Ageless Generations, but within a year the building had been sold to Greystar, a subsidiary of the private equity firm Carlyle Group, and her rent has been increased by at least 10% every year, despite promises that the building would remain affordable. She doesn't know where she'll live when her lease is up this month. Recently photographed for CascadePBS.

1. Coyotes! Enjoy 6 seconds of my trail cam video below. Wait for the second coyote to run through glaring at the camera.

2. Two measures FAILED to pass a vote by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. Amendment 7 would have required participation in girls’ sports be limited to people born biologically female.

3. Amendment 8 would have created a separate division for transgender athletes.

Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple 🥰
