May 12, 2018 - Breakwater Run to School of Fish
The sculpture of salmon on the Edmonds marina breakwater was originally commissioned as "Breakwater Run" in 1982. After a refurbishing it was rededicated in 1994 as "School of Fish" as a memorial to the former Mayor Gordon Maxwell. The ferry M/V Walla Walla is in the background loading cars before heading west towards the sunset. In the background of the background, Mount Baker can be seen.

May 5, 2018 - Row Town USA
The University of Washington men's varsity 8 boat, nudges out the reigning collegiate champion of Britain, Oxford Brookes University, in one of the featured races of the 32nd Windermere Cup.
Each year the Windermere Cup event allows for a unique opportunity for the public to view local, national and even a few international teams competing in a sport that is rarely televised. The event features over 1000 rowers ranging from ages from 14 to 70 competing in 23 races.
The 2000 meter course begins in Lake Washington and runs west under the Montlake Bridge. Moored boats line both sides of the course in Lake Washington and thousands of fans on either side of the shore at the 'Cut' cheer the rowers on. It is a scene unique in the sport of rowing. One UW coach goes so far as to call Seattle "Row Town USA".
In the final event of the 2018 Windermer Cup, the Dutch National Team, beat the #2 ranked University of Washington's women by 1.225 seconds.
