Great composition! The blues are so vibrant. Much needed, especially on a gloomy day in SW WA. Thanks for the share.

Yakima is hot in the summer. Dry and hot

Winters are usually pretty mild but can get into the teens. Bring your snow shovel

Wild. We grew up rowing to Skull from our grandparents place and playing there.

I think it’s that one thing in the picture that’s not grass.

Have most certainly had first hand experience there, but things change. But low? Rabid racial prejudice is low, my friend, not speaking out against it.

It's a magical place! Come share your pics and experiences with the community on /r/sanjuanislands too. I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

No but in this case it's challenging to know what to do about it.

This story came up when the land became valuable to developers. It's important that the victims are orphans because there's conveniently, therefore no or vague records of the ownership claim. Lummi Nation then tried to cut off the water supply to the homes built there and it was later reversed by the government.

In the 1996 telling of it, the orphans sold the land after being tricked by doctors for bills? In this telling, they were straight-up murdered. The story gets worse every year!

I completely believe that Lummi Nation land was stolen. In fact all of America was stolen from native people. Even the Salish Coast tribes are fighting each other over land history, and the oral-tradition stories are hard to verify and bias towards a great injustice. I'm just not sure how to unwind all of that, or if it should be.

Definitely agree. I really don’t mind the cold or wind at all, as long as it’s sunny. I can’t handle humidity in the summer anymore at all, and can’t really go outside after 10am these days. I did a road trip from Cincinnati to Seattle last summer and got my first taste of 100° dry heat, it was amazing.

Roche Harbor lime rebuilt San Francisco after the big earthquake and fire

incredible the amount of revenue mj is generating, other states should take note

If you work for a Fortune 500 company you may be able to get the corporate rate. Did this my last rental and saved %25.

Fantastic! Always entertaining to see the Pig war pop up, I remember being taught about it way back in the day.

It looks like the San Juan kilns were the big ones, largest lime kilns on the west coast according to that site. Many thanks!

Afterglow Vista

>Afterglow Vista (also known as the McMillin Memorial Mausoleum and Afterglow Mausoleum) is a mausoleum located in San Juan County, Washington, United States, near Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. It is the final resting place of businessman John S. McMillin, his wife and children, and one of the family's employees. The design of the mausoleum incorporates numerous instances of symbolism, some of it Masonic in nature.

Especially the McMillan Mausoleum! The Lore podcast did a pretty cool episode about it.

It doesn’t matter, I walked on the land and seen all of them are white. That’s what the truth is.

If it were non-white Americans, would the story be different? What do you think ought to be done?

Here you go!

tl;dr they were also mining the limestone there. The processed lime powder they made is a key ingredient in concrete, among other things. Humans have been using lime kilns to turn limestone into lime for over 12,000 years.

That’s the truth, why is that so hurtful

I've deleted my comment - it's not helpful to a civil discussion and I don't want to encourage a certain type of person, but my unpopular opinion is that "white people live on the land of murdered orphans" might not be the helpful place to start either.

That is a pretty low comment unless you have been personally discriminated against in Ellensburg. It is a fairly white town, and I am not disagreeing that there are some racist assholes, but there are also a lot of very tolerant people who don't put up with that crap. There are far more "not in my Ellensburg signs" and "tolerance signs" in this community than confederate flags or nazi swastikas. And Winegars milkshakes are great.

Yes.
