The Seattle Section met in North Bend, for a delightful drive over the Cascade Mountains to Ellensburg to visit their Annual Farmers Market.  A wet spring kept the gorge walls of the Yakima River extremely green for the Seattle Section to tour. Tall ridges similar to a miniature version of the Grand Canyon were viewable for members with a trip across a suspension bridge topping off our hiking path.  From there it was off to lunch at the Yakima Steak Company.  After a rousing trivia contest, everyone headed off to enjoy the local sights.
