Episode 03: Staycationing

This is October. The birds are chirping. The Mariners are in the postseason and the kids are back in school. Every major sports is playing. The leaves are falling and the air is getting crisp at night. Also Seattle is having an extended summer and these sunsets have been amazing. Typically during the rainy winter months (Nov-Feb) we work non stop during this time until summer and by then there is plenty of things to do around western Washington.
