In the Pacific Northwest, when our long days stretch into evening, that summer sunshine we’ve waited all year to enjoy seems to beckon us to get together and celebrate. Celebrate we do, with festivals and fairs, parades and picnics all summer long.

There’s no question that bicycles are popular around here. The Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River trails draw bicyclists (and walkers) daily. Redmond even has a velodrome for bicycle racing.

Don’t say the words “do your business” to Lana, a 7-month-old golden retriever.
She may just relieve herself on the spot.
As a guide dog-in-training, Lana can perform several tasks, including sitting, standing and peeing on command. Her trainer, Abby Christensen, who turns 18 on Saturday, said the latter was tricky and sort of hit-or-miss.
