  Heritage connection: Snoqualmie Valley's Monty and Liam Wright share Scottish, family background

  Words to describe local artists Monty and Liam Wright: Humble, heartfelt and loaded with talent. These Snoqualmie Valley natives are father and son and enjoy their Scottish heritage as much as their love of music, writing and art. Monty recalls, “Liam’s love of art started in preschool when the teacher called me in to look at a comic strip titled ‘Butt Man’. It was literally a Butt with a cape and he had all these great adventures.” “He rode a dirt bike in one episode,” adds Liam.
