Here’s a #FlashbackFriday to sunny summer sunsets. 🌅🏔️ This beautiful view of Mount Rainier from #Tacoma was captured back in July for this week’s #PhotoOfTheWeek. As we appreciate the beauty of summer in the Pacific Northwest, our thoughts are with our friends and neighbors in Spokane ...and across Eastern Washington impacted by the devastating wildfires this week. ❤️
