All about your Salmon Creek neighborhood
There’s a new game in town and it’s called Phat Hoops! Phat Hoops are weighted Hula Hoops used for exercising to firm, tone and burn body fat (sounds fun, I know 
) and is fast becoming the new exercise craze.
I had heard of them, but didn’t know much about them, so I went right to the source. Trina makes and sells Phat Hoops right here in Vancouver USA, so we met at Applebee’s and she gave me the skinny on Phat Hoops.
“One … [Continue reading...]

Two-fer Tuesday.
Pizza Night (or day) at the Wayside Market in Salmon Creek.
Every Tuesday, for as long as I can remember, it’s Pizza Two-fer Tuesday at the Wayside Market. Two Pizzas for $5. And that’s two pizzas with anything you want on them. Today was “Everything” and “Canadian Bacon”.
Walk in (1309 NE 134th Street) or call ahead (574-0155). My teenage son has them on speed-dial on his phone so they must be good! 
If you like a cold brew with your pizza, be sure to check out their … [Continue reading...]
Just when you thought Clark County government had realized its full potential to alienate and aggrieve its own constituents, they pull a new trick out of their back pocket… you know, that same pocket developers are usually in.
As recently as July 20, a County Staff report requested approvals to apply for grants for five parks, including Sorenson Park and the Cougar Creek Community Park in Felida. At the 11th hour (on July 27), the staff report to the Clark County Board of … [Continue reading...]
Almost-two-year-old Bridger wasn’t waiting for Santa to make his Christmas wishes at the Crystal Plum Bazaar at Alki Middle School in Salmon Creek.
Some of my favorite items at the Crystal Plum Bazaar were handbags made out of recycled plastic bags by Shellie Sews (shelliepc@hotmail.com), Dirt Soap by Country Memories Soap, Photography by Jodi Tripp, and glass art by A Glass Act.
There are lots of talented local artists and local vendors in Clark County. For unique gifts for your family, friends, … [Continue reading...]
New Discount Coupon: The Papa Murphys Pizza in Salmon Creek is having Customer Appreciation Days September 9th and 10th, 2009. Any Pizza, Any Size $10.
Now, if you normally order a small cheese pizza, well, this deal isn’t going to help you much. But, for our “usual” order (which changes every week, but is always “Family Size”, with multiple toppings) this can be quite a savings (and gives me another excuse to have Papa Murphy’s for dinner!)
The Salmon Creek Papa Murphy’s number is 576-9670, … [Continue reading...]
But Not For Long.
Thanks Northside Barber in Salmon Creek for saving my son from himself.
Our family has been going to Northside Barber for quite some time now. So when they decided to move their business to Salmon Creek (behind the Wayside Market), I was thrilled.
So thrilled, that today I let my two sons ride their bikes there to get a haircut. Alone. “Use your best judgment”, I said; to an eleven year old and a thirteen year old on summer vacation. I confidently gave them a … [Continue reading...]
July Starts Out Hot!
Along with all the other responsibilities of being a parent, “Weatherman” is now one of them too, it seems. Every morning, sometimes even before, “Good Morning”, it’s “What’s the weather going to be today?” Guess that says something about the Pacific Northwest weather!
So, after a quick weather check on-line, July 1 in Salmon Creek is going to be HOT! Plentiful sunshine and 90 degrees. (Gotta love www.weather.com).
Now the question becomes what to do when it is that hot. Apparently kids do not … [Continue reading...]
