I moved to the Snoqualmie Valley in 1989. I didn’t come here to change the order of things. To be accommodated by this town was a privilege, not a principle. Rocking the boat was never an intention. Riding the current was.

So, my new neighboring “folks,” pull in your oars and float like the rest of the established community.

P.S. FOLK adj.: Of, or occurring in, or originating among the common people.
