Eagles auxiliary ‘flocks’ front yards to raise money for cancer research PINK FLAMINGOS:
Money raised benefits victims in community BY ANDREW FICKES of the Herald

But soon, neighbors and community

we reach the summit. fresh mountain air clears the mind. A rare bird takes flight.
A spirit resides here that only the outdoors is big enough to contain. Where Mount Rainier appears even closer and the forest is ever present. Here is Tehaleh, the new community in the highlands of Pierce County. It’s a place where an excellent education is in the heart of the community. And birding, backpacking and s’mores are all in a day’s play. Where will Tehaleh find you?
