Coming home -
flying over the mountains and the water
reminds me that we're not in Ohio anymore!
Here's Mount St. Helens
One little detail we missed in our research before we moved out here - we're smack in the middle of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, an area with numbers of active volcanoes. If you look closely at the photo above you can see two volcanoes to the left of the wing (the larger one is Mount St. Helens) and one just to the right of the wing tip. Mount St. Helens is considered an active volcano. I don't know about the other two.
Flying into the Seattle airport you are reminded of all the water - ocean, sounds, lakes. Take a look at a map and you can see how this land came apart at some ancient point in time. Seattle is the red A on the map. Kirkland is across Lake Washington, east of Seattle and north of Bellevue.
This is a beautiful place to live -
even if it is in the middle of the Cascade Volcanic Arc!
