Saturday Edition - August 19, 2025

Good morning Member

I hope your Saturday’s off to a great start. Last night, I was helping my niece with her school project when we came across a box of old family photos. Inside was a rare picture of me with all my grandparents together, and I just sat there taking in their faces—wishing I’d had more time with some of them. How about you? Did you know all of your grandparents? Share your story with us!

Before we dive into the main stuff, it’s time for “Would the Grandkids Know This One?” A word to bring back: Victrola.

Drop your answers here for a chance at next week’s shout-out, and if you played the last round, check the winners list to see if your name made the cut. Now, onto today’s stories!

Seattle Glows, Rainier Watches

Some views are dramatic. Others are quietly majestic. Seattle has a way of being both. This sunset moment—glowing across the skyline and stretching all the way to Mount Rainier—feels like something only the Pacific Northwest can deliver. Have you been somewhere that gave you that "breathe it in" kind of calm? We'd love to see your view in the forum.
