On the freeway on the way to the University District I noticed that Mt. Rainier was out. I thought I'd go to the place on the campus where there is a good view of the mountain. I hope the reader doesn't get tired of pictures of Mt. Rainier. The mountain has been part of my life since I was four years old. When you stepped out of our house on Alton onto the front porch on a clear day. If you looked over to the south you would see Mt. Rainier. It was magical growing up with a view like that. That is why I like to photograph it. It is overcast alot and the mountain can't be seen, but when a clear day comes, and you can look over at it again in all it's brilliance. I think those who live here can appreciate that statement.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

On my way out of the campus I took this picture of the statue of George Washington that faces west over toward the Olympic Mountain Range. This school was named after him, as well as the state.
