15 minutes to go through the Douglas US Crossing, 176th St. from Langley. Travelled down the I-5 to Everett, the 405 around Seattle, then on to The North end of Tacoma (old Tacoma) to stay with Judith and Bill, from Coulter Island, Cortes. Their house is several away from the opening picture.

The area and houses reminds us of Kitsilano of Vancouver or Queens Partk of New Westminster. The shopping area nearby is quaint and friendly feeling, like a small village.

When we filled the gas tank shortly into Washington, it was $2.10 a US gallon. Here in Tacoma it is 1.98 at the Co-0p.
