Quicktime VR at a Grant County Ranch House
by Pete on Aug.13, 2009, under Quicktime VR
We got the opportunity to stay at a fantastic ranch in Grant County, Washington just outside the town of Moses Lake. It’s a sprawling property with acres of both irrigated land, and natural eastern Washington landscape. In the foreground of this image is one of several irrigation circles on this property. This circle is irrigating an approximate 2000 foot diameter cattle grazing area, but is limited to a range of about 135 degrees due to the topography.
In this panoramic it is possible to make out some of the basalt bluffs and outcroppings on the property. Following the road into the distance, you can make out an outcropping where the basalt has form into pillar or column formations. Several basalt column pillars, which were quarried from another location on the property, were used in the construction of the house in this image. Each corner of this incredible house has a large basalt column. These pillars, along with the massive column in the center, carry the weight of the roof and allow the house to have a large amount of open space.
Be sure to look down in this panoramic to experience more of this property.

The Sound Transit Link light rail alignment has finally opened, and now it’s time to put it to good use. This map features some of the restaurants and happy hours that are a short walk from some of the downtown stations. The parking nightmare is over!
Wyatt and Wendy’s Wedding - Slideshow Video
by Pete on Jul.02, 2009, under Video
No wedding is complete without a slideshow full of embarrassing pictures. Thanks to everyone for all their efforts in searching, collecting, scanning, and mailing all the old photos and video. I couldn’t have put this together without all your help. Here’s the slideshow that played just before Wyatt and Wendy cut the cake. FYI - the song featured is “Stolen” from Dashboard Confessional.
