RT with your home river

This is ~30 minutes drive from my Seattle home so I don't know if I can properly claim it as mine, but it's very nice

Mine is more of a creek
Photo of my local creek in Washington State. Lining the creek are several trees that are leafless due to it being winter. Sky is overcast gray.

I know everyone is mad at the media for not pronouncing "skagit" correctly (where the worst flooding and evacuations are happening in WA)

But I've lived here ten years and I'm not confident in how to say it either 😭

I just know it's supposed to look like this

Post from Washington Governor Ferguson: we anticipate potentially 100,000 Washingtonians facing evacuation orders [for flooding, mudslide, etc]. The situation is fluid and changing all the time. We expect rivers to hit historic levels as early as 4am tomorrow, lasting into Friday morning. Make sure you are signed up for emergency alerts with your county. Find a list here: https://mil.wa.gov/alerts Keep your phone on tonight, and make sure emergency alerts are on in your settings.

Got this note in an order I received from a small local Etsy business and her products rock so I'll give her a shout:
www.etsy.com/shop/GrandBa...

I bought scents from this shop for members of my family for Mother's Day and they liked them so much they asked for more now
Letter included in shipment from Etsy seller GrandBassa reads: Dear Valued Customer, thank you so much for supporting my small business this year! I am truly grateful for your trust and loyalty. As we enter the holiday season, I wanted to personally wish you joyful holidays filled with peace, warmth, and time with the people you love. Looking ahead to 2026, I hope you'll make self-care and your health a priority in your life. Please remember to take moments for yourself, spend time with your family, and seek joy wherever you can.

Thanks to Orca Running and the electric cookie run last night at Green Lake, Seattle, I got another chance to rep @treehouseforkids.bsky.social Holiday Magic ✨ Orca runs really fun events 🏃‍♀️

If you live in WA pls contact Gov Ferguson and ask to reinstate funding for foster care programs 💚
