By Roberta Lasky As our cross-country flight banked slowly on its final approach into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, we thought it was a mirage rising slowly out of the blue sky. In reality, it was the magnificent snow-capped Mt. Rainier, towering impossibly high above the verdant Washington coastline. We arrived in Seattle this past July for […]

Luckily, the weather was better the following week when we were there. However, the mountain still […]
