I think the thing that is obscene about the Mar-A-Logo raid is the fact the FBI came in armed when there was Secret Service on the premises. Just totally ridiculous that happened. VERY poor judgment by the DOJ.
Could they not have just come in peacefully?
Me too. A lot of things going for the climate in that area. Cle Elum also has about the coolest summers you can find east of the Cascades thanks to the cool west wind from the low Central Cascade Passes.
I still like it here from mid June through December. Obviously Jan and / or Feb can be added to that list depending on the year.
