Aug 19, 2016 Mikaela Judd At the corner of Bothell Way and 73rd, where traffic is common and horns often honk, Gaul Culley and Staci Adman are adding the finishing touches to the Kenmore Mural. The two artists are on a tight schedule. The official ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for September 5 from 11 […]
Jul 15, 2016 Mikaela Cowles A bird’s-eye view is a great way to get your bearings when you’re in a new place. It lets you wrap your head around the neighborhoods and topography. But after you’ve drunk in the lakes and building tops, neighborhoods and needle points (hello Space Needle!), putting boots on the ground […]
Jun 23, 2016 Mikaela Cowles They came to the water’s surface like elegant dancers, their dorsal fins tickling the air. Breaths were gasped. Pictures were snapped. Little children pointed with glee. Until then – until that moment when I saw my first Orca – I didn’t get it. I’d been told that images, video, and […]
Jun 19, 2016 Mikaela Cowles It is little wonder Tristan Blair joined the Kenmore Air family. His dad, Chris, has been flying with Kenmore Air since before he was born.

In the 80s and 90s, Chuck lived and worked in Ketchikan. Today, the town is a popular stop for many cruise lines. Back […]
May 23, 2016 Mikaela Judd It doesn’t look like much from the air – just a collection of windows tucked between the trees – but that’s the beauty of the West Coast Wilderness Lodge. With its unassuming simplicity, it feels as though this 26-room getaway could have grown from the hillside itself. It didn’t. The […]

Day 1 Breakfast – Sound View CaféFor over 40 years, the Sound View Café has been tucked just west of the Pike Place Market’s fish-flinging crew. While the space here may be narrow, the […]
Apr 26, 2016 Mikaela Cowles It wasn’t the first seaplane Kenmore Air ever purchased. It wasn’t even the first de Havilland Beaver. But Six-Six-Zulu is definitely the best-loved member of Kenmore’s fleet. A fixed wing single-engine beauty, she came off the line in 1953. Her early years were spent with the United States Air Force.

Apr 21, 2016 A lifelong passion for de Havilland Beavers led a landlocked raised girl on a journey to become commercial seaplane pilot. When “Top Gun” characters Maverick and Goose first uttered the words, “I feel the need. The need for speed,” few could have predicted how the line would change lives throughout the world. […]
