About This Blog

Living local is as much a state of mind as a location.

Walla Walla has been a destination for more than a 150 years– from our earliest adventurers Lewis and Clark to pioneer settlers Marcus and Narcissa Whitman and a long line of Americans who followed them west. In the 20th century, Walla Walla has hosted a number of presidential visits, a yearly county fair, more recently a Mother’s Day weekend hot air balloon festival but today Walla Walla is probably best know as wine country.

This is a blog which will explore the inherent push and pull between the past and the present, big business and small business, wheat farming and wine producing, Eastern Washington and Western Washington, wine drinking and beer drinking and everything in between.
