I am sure you all will be doing a lot of driving over the Holidays and I wanted you to have this link from the Washington State DOT. This link will help you see the pass from different cameras across the state. I have family over in Cle Elum and Liberty and I use this site every time I drive the pass. When I lived in Cle Elum my father drove to Tacoma everyday this site was a great way to know what the drive would look like.

My family and I worked on the Daffodil Float last year and will be working on the float again this year. We will start fund raising for our float now so we can start planning what to build in January. We currently do not have a warm covered space to build the float in but are looking for locations. We have one Orting princess this year and she just happens to be the daughter of one of my co-workers so I am very excited. Below I have noted the Theme the pins they sell have a baseball player on them but we can do what ever we like that fits the "Swing into Spring" concept. If any of you have great float ideas please let me know. We always need volunteers to help fund raise, build, and stuff flowers the day before. You can contact me on this site if you have any interest in helping.

If you or your customers are looking for a great office to work with over in Kittitas County

you should call the Windermere Office in Cle Elum. My mother is Dee Gotch and she is great with her

customers. The office understands the local area and that is very important. I have attached the

Windermere office link .
