The "pros" for this cemetery is the location. It's away from highways and for the most part it…read morelooks peaceful. I had to wait a couple months to write about the "Cons" for the staff. Recently this year, my son has passed away. When the time came, to lower his casket, the young man in charge DROPPED him in the hole. My family and friends were shocked. No words can explain how my wife and I felt. At a time of grief, the anger in my heart was unbearable. A few weeks later when I was visiting my son, another funeral event was in progress. During that time, the workers was mowing the lawn in that very section not giving a shit, constantly passing by, left and right like it's no ones business. The boldness of the staff here are careless, full of contempt, and clearly inexperienced. And during that whole time, the young man in charge (the one that dropped my son) was standing there watching the whole thing just waiting to get it over with. For the family and those who are resting here, I hope God finds a way to resolve this issue.

Don't ask me why, but I love old things, buildings, clothing... and cemeteries. Cemeteries are…read moreliterally, the most peaceful place I can think of. This cemetery houses the remains of some of the first settlers of the town of Snohomish. It is a sister cemetery to the GAR Cemetery in Seattle. Established in 1889, there are 200 Union soldiers buried here. The "newer" side of the cemetery is very well maintained. The older part of the cemetery has fallen into disrepair. There are overturned and uprooted gravestones and vegetation overgrowth. The huge monument that stands in the middle of the cemetery is intricately carved, down to the hollow eyes that stare you down. A few of the locals say that when you drive or walk by the cemetery, the eyes follow you... Not scary at all looking at them up close. Also, check out my pics to see the hugest freakin monkey tree I have ever seen! must be some damn good fertilizer...

My son and I had already had a long day of walking and planned on going straight home. But then we…read morerealized how close Arlington Cemetery was so we decided to make a quick stop. We had no idea what we were getting into. There is a very nice museum area right when you walk in. There's lots to read if that's something you enjoy. Then off to your right you can either just walk into the cemetery by foot or take a tram. I went up to the desk and asked the lady if we would benefit from taking the tram. She told me it was over a mile walk, up hill to get to The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. That's all I needed to hear. We had just spent 4 straight hours walking. We took the tram. It didn't hurt that there was a military discount. So there are two ways you can utilize the tram. First you could just ride it from start to finish and I was told that takes between 35-45 minutes. Or you can get off at stops. There are 3 stops. Just beware, and they'll say it on the ride, that once you get off, you will have to wait about 30 minutes at each stop before the next one comes around to pick you up. At first we were just going to do the loop. But as the guide started talking about each stop we both wanted to stop. So our quick trip turned into several hours. I honestly had no intention of taking my almost 14 year old there. I really didn't think he would care too much. But I think he enjoyed it more than I did. He even wants to go back. So I would say that if you're on the fence, just go and see what happens. But eat before you get there. No food is allowed and there aren't any restaurants or vendors anywhere basically beyond the Lincoln Memorial. So make sure you don't go hungry like we did.

This is a small thing to miss, but would have meant the world to me. I would have had her finger put on ink had I known I would not be able to attain this from them.

I was treated with respect and compassion with every phone call and visit to their office by the staff. I ordered a gold necklace with a fingerprint and quote which took about 6 weeks and it was beautiful. I am grateful for the recommendation from Evergreen Hospice.

The group…read more performed Bach's Magnificat and Cantata No.140 in the sanctuary of St. Mary's on Thursday, Nov. 17th and it was a wonderful evening. I was in the audience. I suppose that this review really should be about the high quality of the all-volunteer chorus and the professional (but local) musicians who accompanied them. It would be appropriate to note that this was Rainshadow's official Fall 2011 performance and that the music soared into the church's rafters with nary a dissonant note. The performance was truly celestial but I'll let you read more about it on the organization's website: http://www.rainshadowchorale.org . That being said, this review is really about the church because the building, and its ministry is rather a surprise. At least to me, anyhoo... St. Mary Star of the Sea is located a block from the Port Townsend Public Library. It's a one-story red brick building which occupies a city block and has a large parking lot. The parish does not (as far as I can tell) host a parochial school and yet the site would have been the perfect location for such a school, had one been started. The church's website, www.stmaryss.com tells all the sordid (but ultimately uplifting) details. The reader will learn that such a school was planned for the location, that an early church housekeeper, who was vehemently anti-Catholic, totally impoverished the parish, selling off all of the church's contents including the baptismal font. The reader will also learn that a later housekeeper willed a considerable amount of money to the church to restore it. The present building has soaring ceilings, a beautifully carved wooden crucifix and lovely Stations of the Cross on the perimeter walls. It has to be one of the more airy, uplifting, modern churches that I''ve been in. The congregation (and present pastor) seem to also be welcoming inclusve, witness the use of the sanctuary for the Rainshadow concert... I enjoyed a wonderful musical evening, felt at home and once again marveled at the amazing artistic life of Port Townsend. Just as the all-Bach performance fit beautifully into its setting, so does St. Mary's, which is perhaps the only Catholic church in Puget Sound, fit into the Port Townsend community.
