"Hike for Healing is an annual event that encourages self-reflection and open, honest, and meaningful conversation to ignite healing of racial and cultural divides...

Shambrekia Wise shares the origin story of how she co-created Sightseeing with Sandy with her daughter.
After receiving a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, Shambrekia made a decision to live life more intentionally and to create lasting memories with her daughter, Sandy.
Sandy observed that she didn’t see a lot of kids that looked like her when they traveled. She asked her mom to find a solution to it. This conversation was one of the factors that led to creating Sightseeing with Sandy. “The book series, ”Sightseeing with Sandy”, creates a telescope to the world so children don’t ever have to leave home to explore it.”

Judy Bentley takes listeners through hiking Washington's history and reveals the stories behind Washington’s landscape, from Cape Flattery to Cascade Pass, from the Blue Mountains to Cape Disappointment. We discuss trails as old as 7000 years cross the Cascades. Hikers may climb to mountain lookouts and follow wagon roads, rail-trails, and expeditions through the Olympic Mountains. (source: judybentley.com)
Judy Bentley writes books about history, hiking, biography, and current issues for both adults and young adults. She grew up in Indiana, went to college in Ohio, and lived in New York City before moving to Seattle where she has retired from teaching at South Seattle College. The second edition of Hiking Washington's History was published by the University of Washington Press with co-author Craig Romano. Walking Washington's History: Ten Cities, published in 2016, is an urban counterpart to Hiking Washington's History.
