I feel the roar in my trembling sternum as a massive fighter plane screams past my window, my first-floor window. Forgive me all you veteran Seattleites, this is my second Boeing Seafair Airshow, (August 3-5). This is just the practice day before the real thing. I am still recovering from the Fourth of July. ...

After Seattle Jewish Establishment Honors Police Department, Progressive Jews Honor Immigrant Rights Group – January 24, 2018 January 24, 2018Alice Rothchild
