Bob and I left our Bozeman housesit shortly after 4:00 pm on Monday, August 14, to drop the homeowners’ car at the airport for their use when they flew in later that night and then headed out for a 3 hour drive to Missoula, Montana. We only spent the night there (home to the University of Montana and 2nd largest city in the state). Tuesday, we were off early for a 7+ hour drive to Kent, Washington (a southern suburb of Seattle) for a meet-up with Beth’s cousin and his wife.

Jennifer and Kris also recommended a local site that Bob might want to see. We stopped by this am after we left their house, but we couldn’t get Bob in the photo, as there was no available parking in the area, and the parking police were out.


We are spending 3 days in La Conner, Washington, before our next housesit in Sidney, Vancouver Island, Canada. La Conner is a small town (population 965) in Skagit County, in the far upper northwestern corner of Washington state. It is located on the Salish Sea between Seattle and Vancouver. We’re staying in the historic Hotel Planter on the main road in La Conner.
