    Wandering Central Washington: Nearly a century of Squeezing Inn (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It feels like just yesterday, but more than a few years ago I was working out in Creston, Washington — a town of about 200 residents that most people don’t even know exists. I was working on a wildlife refuge, and one hot and blistering day, one of my coworkers heard me mention Zillah and stopped in his tracks. “Oh, the best prime rib I’ve ever had was in Zillah!” he exclaimed, recounting how in the mid-1990s he and his friends would drive three hours each way just for the prime rib.

    Wandering Central Washington: 'It's just a snake' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Wandering Central Washington: The rise, fall and resurrection of the porch goose (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I never knew how exciting a plastic goose could be. Not a real, feathered, squawking goose, but a plastic, hollow, frozen-in-time replica of the real thing. Somehow, much like the day I realized I was genuinely excited about logging bird sightings in the Merlin Bird ID app, I recently found myself developing a new obsession: the quirky porch goose. You might be wondering what in tarnation a porch goose is. The only way I can describe it is as a midcentury source of wonderment and whimsy. A cemen
