Stan Orchard is a Seattle-based writer, journalist, broadcaster, Pacific Science Center Web Publisher, rookie photographer, RapidWeaver aficionado and all-around great guy who lives in Hobart, WA. These are the stories of a family living on a 5-acre piece of paradise nestled up against the Cascade foothills 30 miles SE of Seattle. Nature, technology, children, photography, careers, and more. Not necessarily in that order.
