Pam Thomson, 48, and her long haired Chihuahua Grommit stand around waiting for Thomson's son after the Junior Ski to Sea Race on March 22. Thomson's son Jake participated in the obstacle course leg of the race and ended up taking second place with his team "Game Over." "The obstacle course is all about speed, dexterity, and coordination," Thomson said. "I think it's just a really fun-filled event. It's healthy competition among peers and it's not too overly competitive."
Oneil Kwangwanh, 18, skateboards in the Ridge tennis courts at Western Washington University. Utilizing the tennis nets, Kwangwanh and his friends attempt to jump over the net and then land successfully back on the skateboard as it continues to travel on the ground beneath them. Kwangwanh, an avid skateboarder, was not afraid to try a different kind of trick. “If you lift your feet, the board will follow.”
Carole Hoerauf, 71, sits on the steps of Ving! Dance Studio on Holly Street in downtown Bellingham. Hoerauf reflects on the Mark Haim dance master class she just observed. A regular attendee of arts recitals, classes, and performances in the Bellingham area, Hoerauf was impressed by the caliber of both the students and guest dancer Haim. “Master classes are worth it.
