Video ~ Narrows bridge goes dark
As I mentioned last week, the new Narrows bridge is no longer going dark but is dark. Efforts to light the bridges are going well and you can always get involved by visiting NarrowsBridgeLights.org. The group already has $1.5 million in the state budget (not bad for 5 months work) and hopes to continue its success with funds from other sources to get the job done.
The following video shows the darkening of the bridge as seen from a couple WSDOT cameras between May 1st and 14th.
Don't let this be an end but rather a call for a new beginning for our incredible Narrows bridges.

Photo ~ Warehouse treasure
Tacoma is the type of town with treasures to find all over the place. Some are out in the open and some not so much. Some house workshops for glass geniuses while others hide vast potential. When walking downtown today I strolled by one warehouse who's large door isn't normally open. Today, however it was. So what was in there?
A car. An old white Plymouth wagon. Not a diamond but maybe a gem. One among many that make this beautiful place a true treasure. Imagine if doors like these were open more often when visitors or TV cameras were nearby. Would Tacoma cease to be a smelly, violent, gritty place?
