In general, salmonberries can be picked when they are ripe from May through July, typically in moist areas near ponds and streams.
So if we think there is a problem in Seattle we have a very, very liberal-slash-communist mayor. I would say certainly beyond just liberal. I watched her over the weekend. Another beauty we've got there. If we think there's going to be a problem, Gianni, can I say we will move? Trump asked Infantino. Trump continued, I don't think we will have this problem, but we will move the event to some place it will be appreciated and safe.

I was nervous, that first day on the job, walking up to Edith Macefield's house. I'd heard so much already. Developers had purchased most of a city block in Seattle, Washington, to build a office and shopping area. They'd gotten every inch of the property they wanted except for this one little ramshackle house. They'd even offered her $1 million for it, and she had declined. So they had had to build around it.
President Donald Trump would look to move matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup if he deems any of the United States cities planning to serve as hosts to be unsafe.

[Seattle and San Francisco are] run by radical left lunatics who don't know what they're doing.
I was raised in a conservative home where dating wasn't allowed, and life followed a very specific roadmap: meet someone through church, get married young, stay married, and raise a family. I followed that plan for as long as I could. At 22 years old, I married the first boy who ever took me on a date. Six years later, I was divorced and had a 1-year-old son. At the time, I felt like a failure.
Seattle's Portage Bay has a new architectural landmark - a floating home designed by Dyna Builders in collaboration with Hoshide Wanzer Architects. Rooted in the Costa Rican concept of pura vida, the appropriately named Pura Vida Floating Home celebrates simplicity, balance, and a deep connection to nature while embracing the unique challenges of life on the water. Replacing a decades-old houseboat that once occupied the canal slip, the project began with a new reinforced concrete float - a foundation that provides long-term stability and modern utility access for plumbing and electrical systems. The home itself was built in Dyna's Ballard shipyard and carefully towed into place, a reminder of the precision required for floating architecture in Seattle's waterways.
Seattle is an exceptionally kid-centric city thanks to its plentiful activities and family-friendly hotels and Airbnbs. It's a place where orcas breach within sight of skyscrapers, boats zip around the waterways, and the smell of salt air mingles with freshly caught-and tossed-fish.
On arrival, guests are greeted by artist Isvald Klingels' "Ghost Forest" installation, which incorporates fallen tree stumps, snags, logs, and branches, alongside old-growth Red Cedars and a unique 16-foot-tall spiraling Yew tree.
