Felicia a real Value

To the Editor,

Yesterday, May 9th, was a scorcher here in western Washington, even as close to saltwater as we are most everywhere. My sister-in-law Lori and her three sisters from San Diego were visiting me on Whidbey Island before boarding the train in Mount Vernon for Vancouver to embark on a 7-day Alaska cruise.

One of Lori’s favorite spots in La Conner is the Soroptomist thrift store and her sisters share that thrifty gene, so off they headed in their rental car. I planned to join them a bit later, which turned out to be during the noontime heat.

It’s hard to find shaded street parking in...
