Way back in July, 2010, John moved with Amazon into a new office in South Lake Union, called "Varzea". It was one of less than ten buildings Amazon had in Seattle. Now, ten years later, Amazon has more than 50 buildings in Seattle, and said they would move out of Varzea. John went down to work from Varzea one last time in late October.

Little-known trivia which perhaps will be featured in a future Jeopardy episode ... the "Welcome To Our Blog" post was actually was the fourth post ever, the first post was for our hike up Tiger Mountain.
With every weekend bringing heavy clouds and rain, we haven't had as much of a chance to get outdoors as we usually do. In early August, Mary Jo, John, and Henry did go for a hike to Talus Rocks, which John and Joseph had done four years earlier. It was a bit steeper of a hike than expected, and it was raining fairly hard by the end. We all got pretty wet.
September 2020 brought crazy weather in the Western states ...
In Boulder, for Labor Day weekend it was 100 degrees on Saturday, 90 degrees on Monday, and then it snowed 5" and was in the low-30s on Tuesday!
