In March 2000, 23-year-old Leah Roberts packed her white Jeep Cherokee, withdrew thousands of dollars, and left North Carolina on a cross-country road trip inspired by Jack Kerouac. Five days after she was last seen in Bellingham, Washington, a couple jogging along a remote logging road near Mount Baker found her Jeep wrecked at the bottom of an embankment. Leah wasn't inside. There was no blood and no sign of injury. Her belongings were still in the car, including $2,500 in cash and a family heirloom. Blankets had been stuffed into the broken windows, as if someone had used the Jeep for shelter after the crash. Years later, a forensic examination revealed the starter motor had been tampered with, raising the possibility the crash was staged. Witnesses recalled seeing Leah at a Bellingham restaurant shortly before she vanished, possibly speaking with a man whose identity has never been confirmed. More than two decades later, no arrests have been made and Leah has never been found. Was it foul play in the Washington wilderness, or did Leah walk away from her old life? What really happened to Leah Roberts remains unanswered. Do you have a theory?

I climbed up from the Harrop trail to the South Ridge on Mount Douglas, realizing partway through that I'd lost about twelve minutes of recording, so I kept the recorder going as I continued. I adjusted my gear so I could climb hands-free, navigating rocky sections, loose gravel, and some steep, hands-and-feet scrambling while stopping to take photos of the camas, broom, and sweeping views out toward the Olympic Peninsula and Mount Baker. Along the way, I reflected on the busy running season, with the Times Colonist 10K happening that day, and thousands of runners out while I made my quieter climb. I encountered a few hikers, tricky terrain, and even had to reroute around a restricted construction area near the summit before reaching more stable ground. Pushing through the final stretch, I emerged at the windy top, shared briefly with a handful of others, and wrapped up my run-climb with a sign-off before heading home.
Dave Upthegrove's unilateral decision to remove 79,876 acres from timber production is devastating rural school districts across Washington. Mount Baker schools face $1 million annual losses, forcing state takeover of finances and 30 employee cuts. Sedro-Woolley's DNR revenue collapsed from $3 million to $150,000, costing over 20 jobs. Nancy Churchill exposes how the Lands Commissioner's green agenda violates the state's 137-year constitutional trust obligation to fund public education through timber sales. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-washingtons-broken-trust/ #WashingtonPolitics #TimberRevenue #RuralSchools #DNR #EducationFunding #StatePolicy #ForestManagement #SchoolFunding #WashingtonState #PublicEducation

Send us a textDecember hits different when the lights go up early and the shopping falls behind. We open with that honest tension—trees trimmed, carts half‑filled—and a little serendipity: Sidewalk Surfer, the skate shop Nora grew up admiring, just landed on a NY Times national “best stores” list. From there we steer into language shaping our timelines, decoding Oxford's “rage bait,” the hype around “biohacking” and “aura farming,” and why Cambridge's “parasocial” feels uncomfortably familiar. The words aren't just trends; they're a map to how we prod, posture, and sometimes get pulled into scams that exploit our need to belong.Food brings levity and nostalgia. We laugh at the Cheez‑It crusted turkey leg on a bowl‑game menu and turn it into a practical kitchen win: oven‑baked Cheez‑It chicken tenders with panko crunch, kid‑approved and weeknight‑friendly. It's a reminder that December rewards low‑lift comfort, especially when schedules run hot and daylight runs short. Then snow takes the mic. We admit we love the first clean blanket and the all‑clear of a true snow day, even if driving is dicey and parking lots become slush quarries. Along the way we trade memorable stats—from Mount Baker's jaw‑dropping totals to Chicago's legendary 1967 blizzard—and talk about staying safe, staying sane, and letting the weather give us permission to slow down.The heart of this conversation lives in small rituals: carols on repeat, hot chocolate under winter lights, kids asking Santa for sweaters, and a seven‑year‑old's band called The Hot Coco debuting an outrageously catchy track named “Reconciliation.” These moments don't erase the chaos; they anchor it. If you've been craving a pause, a laugh, and a nudge to choose warmth over noise, you're in the right place. Listen, share with a friend who needs a snow‑day vibe, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

In this compelling eyewitness interview, Offroad X Files podcast host and overlanding researcher Jimmy Toungateshares the encounters that changed him from an interested skeptic into a firsthand Sasquatch witness. Jimmy recounts a terrifying nighttime campsite encounter near Mount Baker and a shocking broad-daylight Bigfoot sighting standing beside I-90 near the Snoqualmie River outside North Bend, Washington—a location linked to multiple independent sightings. Drawing on his work with the Offroad X Files podcast, Jimmy explains how overlanding, remote travel, and modern mapping tools are reshaping Bigfoot research and why Sasquatch activity may be occurring alarmingly close to highways and populated areas.

This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today our guest is Amber Smith.Amber is a femme-queer AMGA Certified Rock Guide with over a decade of experience. Most summers you'll find her at the Yosemite Mountaineering School, climbing grandiose granite walls with her guests. She is passionate about playful, trauma-aware, and embodiment-focused instruction, and she views climbing as an opportunity for powerful personal transformation. If you go climbing with her, she will encourage you to craft a positive affirmation to hone your power.Before landing in Yosemite, she guided throughout the western United States. She has led glacier mountaineering and alpine rock objectives in Washington's North Cascades, ski descents in Wyoming's Grand Tetons, sandstone crack climbs in Utah's deserts, and girls' climate science research expeditions on Alaska's glaciers. In 2016, Amber earned a degree in Geography and wrote her undergraduate thesis on what she called “Feminist Outdoor Leadership: A Guide to Facilitation Strategies for Inclusion and Participant Empowerment in Outdoor Adventure.”I enjoyed my conversations with Amber. Her thoughtfulness was evident when listening to her reflections on her life journeys. She is also inquisitive and not shy about experimenting with new ideas. She is keen on exploring her inner voices to facilitate her own growth and be tuned to others' needs. Now please enjoy this episode with Amber.What We Talked AboutAmber's current, past, and future plansAmber's Affirmation on guiding – be safe, have fun, try your bestDoubts and questions about guiding as a professionEngrossed in the outdoor leadership program in collegeFeminist outdoor leadershipFrom Oregon to Washington, stepping into commercial guiding and keep her foot in outdoor educationTransitioning to Yosemite and guiding full timeLoved the Yosemite climbing communityYosemite climbing and work culturesHosted a webinar about working in YosemiteThinking entrepreneurial – mental health and mindset fieldsLearn to Lead with mindfulness clinicsExperiments / Curiosities on grief and climbing and guidingAffirmation in life – exercise your weakness, leverage your strengths, don't worry about the looksQuote:Keep my priorities clear. And its number one, keep yourself and your guests safe. If that's all I do at the end of the day, nobody had a great time, but at least we were safe, then that was a successful day.I'd say that's the whole journey of this industry for me is building the confidence in my voice, trusting myself and figuring out how to be myself in these spaces while also still sort of meeting some of the expectations of what your employers and your clients may want from you.I'm definitely not [the best climbers in the world]. But what I am good at is supporting people in their climbing goals. And that's what the job is actually about..I think that's really rad that I'm an ebike commuter to my rock guiding job.I think we get a lot of burnout when we're not being intellectually stimulated.I'm basically not like ingraining negative association with the experience. I'm keeping my association with the process positive. and by having these positive associations, then I want to keep doing itOne of the most important attributes of a guide is that you need to be intuitive with your guests. It's very customer service type job. And we need to be intuitively listening to what they need all day.... MoreEP 52 – Amber Smith – AffirMATIONs – Female Guides Requested Podcast

What happens when decades of Bigfoot obsession finally lead to one moonlit night in the shadow of Mount Baker — and a creature that defied every expectation? In this gripping episode of Bigfoot Society, we sit down with Robert Evans, a longtime researcher whose journey spans Florida, Georgia, Washington, Canada, and beyond.Robert recounts his early brush with the unknown in the Chattahoochee mountains, his years of fruitless treks through the Cascades, and the moment everything changed in 2012 — when a massive figure on all fours glided across a floodplain and leapt over a fallen log in front of him. You'll also hear the untold story of the Finding Bigfoot drone expedition that captured incredible thermal footage… only to lose it to a string of failures.From Walla Walla roars to high-tech drone hunts in Ohio and California, Robert's story reveals both the triumph and heartbreak of chasing evidence of the elusive Sasquatch. More than just a sighting, this is a saga of obsession, technology, and the mystery that refuses to let go.Robert currently uses a Mavic 2 Thermal drone at 640x512.

On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel digs into the archives for his 2017 conversation with Western Washington University Professor Emeritus (and geologist and author) Don Easterbrook. Easterbrook and his late colleague David Rahm studied Mount Baker - just minutes away via air from Bellingham - during the Whatcom County peak's period of increased volcanic activity in 1975 - five years before Mount St. Helens blew its top. Easterbrook authored a book in 2016 called "Mount Baker Eruptions and Glaciations." He and Rahm are also co-authors of the essential 1970 text, "Landforms of Washington."

Tucked between the rugged North Cascades and the sparkling Salish Sea, Bellingham, Washington is a must-visit Pacific Northwest destination that offers a stunning mix of mountains, forests, and coastal beauty. Just 90 miles north of Seattle and 20 miles south of the Canadian border, Bellingham is ideally located in Whatcom County with easy access to the San Juan Islands, Mount Baker, and the scenic Chuckanut Mountains. Outdoor enthusiasts will find a paradise of glacial lakes, temperate rainforests, dramatic coastal bluffs, and endless hiking and biking trails. Overlooking Bellingham Bay with views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains, the city blends natural splendor with deep cultural roots. Originally home to the Coast Salish peoples, including the Lummi and Nooksack tribes, Bellingham's history spans coal mining, timber, and maritime trade. The city was officially formed in 1903 when the towns of Whatcom, Sehome, Bellingham, and Fairhaven merged. Today, historic Fairhaven, with its red-brick architecture, lively waterfront, and artsy vibe, anchors a city that's grown into a vibrant college town and cultural hub. In this podcast episode, we explore why Bellingham is the perfect RV road trip stop, packed with natural beauty, rich history, and unforgettable experiences.Send us a textPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.

John Purdie: Mount Baker Theatre by KGMI News/Talk 790
Dr. Caitlin Massone, ultra-runner, mountaineer, neurologist, and first-time author, sharing the story of her 14-year battle with eating disorders, and how she recovered in an unconventional way through finding endurance sports and nature. Her book, "Running from Perfection," comes out this spring (April 26th 2025). Part memoir, part neuroscience, her story delves into the neurobiology of eating disorders, how our brains form habits and addictions, and how nature and exercise can help us heal from mental health disorders such as eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. Since regaining her health, Caitlin has run numerous marathons and ultramarathons, including a 50 mile race on the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and recently completed the Wonderland Trail around Mount Rainier (93 miles in three days). She has also embraced mountaineering, summiting Mount Rainier and Mount Baker, and is planning to climb Denali in 2026. Her story is about perseverance, overcoming mental health obstacles, and finding passion in sports that have transformed her from a 100-pound girl with anorexia to a strong, 150-pound athlete who is ready to take on new challenges! Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about eating disorders, mental health challenges, and recovery.

Exploring Washington: Autumn Photography, Iconic Landscapes, and Life on a Boat Washington State is a photographer's paradise, offering a rich diversity of landscapes—from the North Cascades to the waters of Puget Sound. Photographer Lisa Mize captures this beauty while living full-time on a boat. In a recent Exploring Washington State Podcast episode, Lisa shared her photography journey and unique lifestyle. From Film to Digital Lisa's passion for photography began with family photos during the "film days," capturing memories of her children. As she started hiking Washington's trails, her focus shifted to landscapes. She transitioned from film to digital with a Pentax camera, later embracing Nikon's mirrorless cameras for their efficiency and advanced features. Despite her professional gear, Lisa often uses her iPhone, saying, "The camera you have with you is better than no camera." Capturing Autumn in Washington Autumn is Lisa's favorite season for photography, and her work has been featured on Explore Washington State. Lisa captures stunning fall road trip scenes from Mount Baker's Artist Point to the North Cascades Highway. One standout shot is of a Japanese maple tree at Kubota Garden, a photo that has captivated her audience. Her secret? Patience, persistence, and finding the right light. Sharing Knowledge Lisa is passionate about teaching others, offering workshops that take photographers to some of Washington's most scenic spots. Her workshops focus on helping participants find their unique compositions. She emphasizes that great shots take time and practice. Only two out of 30 photos of the Kubota Garden tree stood out as exceptional. Her advice for beginners: Don't be discouraged by the numbers. Life on a Boat Lisa has lived on a 42-foot powerboat in Puget Sound for the past four years. While boat life presents challenges like cold winters and small hot water tanks, the breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains and sunsets make it worthwhile. Lisa cherishes her lifestyle, which complements her passion for capturing Washington's natural beauty. Looking Forward As Lisa continues to explore and photograph Washington's landscapes, she remains dedicated to sharing her experiences through her workshops and personal work. Her advice? "Just go and see." Whether you're an aspiring photographer or a seasoned traveler, Washington's beauty awaits you. With her camera and adventurous spirit, Lisa reminds us to appreciate the beauty around us—whether on a hike through the Cascades or from the deck of a boat in Puget Sound. Connect With Us

Her journey began as a single science teacher seeking additional revenue streams. Despite making smart decisions, she realized there was still much to learn about investing.

After several years in the business, managing millions of dollars for hundreds of clients, including physicians, Carlie became determined to make financial planning more inclusive. This determination led her to connect with Danielle Hines, Maj. JD/LL.M, whose impactful financial education work resonated with Carlie's vision.

As Spring days blur into endless starry summer nights, I hope you'll retreat into the piney wilderness with me. After enduring a drafty winter, it's well past time we got our faces into sunshine, feel peat moss beneath our bare feet, and savor this season of growth and renewal. There's no better way to send a refreshing chill down your spine than to dig into the haunted side of the Cascade Mountain Range. Let's get into it!Haunted PeaksIt's a fact that the Cascade peaks are haunted. From lost hikers, to murder, to tragic accidents, and risky ventures like mining, these mountains have seen their share of tragedy. Some believe the stone of the mountains absorbed those memories and when conditions are perfect, they play back like a cassette tape.
