Drew had an encounter in 1996 here in Washington up in Snohomish county. Drew describes a creature with an odd movement come out of the ditch into the road. The encounter still bothers him today. We will also be speaking to Chuck. Chuck had an encounter in 2015 at Diablo Lake. The lake is in WA state. Its a glacial-fed lake and in the summer turns a turquoise color because of fine rock particles that refract sunlight. Crater lake in Oregon has that same appearance during the summer. Chuck describes several creatures vocalizing and then it came into camp. Chuck writes "In 2015 I spent the day on a motorcycle ride over SR20 in WA State. We rode around Winthrop and Twisp, then broke up and went our separate ways. I had made plans to camp with another group of friends that night at Colonial Creek Campground at Diablo Lake. I had spent plenty of time in that area and was very comfortable there. After a day of riding with one group of friends I was excited to meet up with my other group of friends. We had a great time hanging out. Eventually we went to our own tents and went to sleep. I guess I laid down around 12:15am. It took me a bit to get comfortable and doze off. I think I fell asleep around 1am. Around 1:45am I heard a call, much like the Ohio sound from across the lake. I estimated it was four or five miles away, but the sound filled the entire valley and woke me up. I smiled, chuckled, and told myself that it was Bigfoot. This call went on for about five to ten minutes, when all of a sudden there was a return call on my side of the lake. I felt like the return call originated about three miles uphill, coming from Pinnacle Peak or Colonial Peak. I felt a sense of surprise, and was taken back by the volume and duration of the return call. This call started out low and soft then crescendo to very loud and bellowing. The sound resonated through me in a way that it instantly woke me up and I became alert. Before I could fully comprehend the return call there was another call from across the lake. This call had a shorter duration, my instincts told me that the call from across the lake was a female and the call on my side of the lake was a male. This went on for about 20 minutes, back and forth. I was in disbelief. I thought of every animal sound I knew and there was nothing like it. The duration and volume was beyond any wildlife's capabilities, not to mention any human's ability. It was fascinating to listen to and was an experience all on its own. Then things got terrifying. What happened next still causes me anxiety just thinking about it. What I will call the male, calling from my side of the lake started coming down the hill. It would stop to call back to the female on the far side of the lake. Each time it called the intensity of the volume became increasingly more intense. I typically carry protection when out in the woods. Mostly for a noise maker, my theory is that the biggest barks wins most of the time. I've had to scare off cougars using this method in the past. Regardless, I white knuckle gripped that 44 magnum and was convinced it was not enough firepower to stop whatever was coming down the mountain, much less a bigger bark. I laid there in my flimsy tent, tucked into my mummy bag, grasping my 44 as I cowered with each return call getting closer. At some point I started hearing footsteps. With each step the ground shook with a vibration that resonated through the ground. I could feel each step getting closer. What was hard to comprehend was the gait between steps. In my mind I envisioned this thing as “jogging”, not walking. I estimated the distance between each step to be 9 to 12 feet. This thing was now in the campground and still returning calls. The terror I felt was indescribably. I was literally frozen with fear. I didn't dare make a sound, I couldn't if I wanted to. My body went into an involuntary flight mode. I could not function my body, meaning I could not get out of my sleeping bag if my life depended on it. I was frozen in fear. My heart was racing, I was uncertain what was going to happen next. Not knowing was the worst part. And wouldn't you believe it, this creature ran right through my campsite, only feet from my tent. It let out a call that sent me into a state of shock. The volume, the duration, the resonating force of sound, I was defeated and terrified. As quick as it came into my campsite it left, and without hesitation it jumped into the lake. Which in my mind sounded like an elk being dropped from 20 feet into the water, there was a huge splash. If you have ever been to Diablo Lake you know it's glacier fed. That water is extremely cold. This didn't even faze it, much like a dog chasing a ball in to a cold lake, it didn't hesitate. This behavior suggested to me that this was some type of animal or “primitive”. Not many humans would jump in that water at night, and if they did you would hear them screaming in shock, it's freakin' cold! The moment it jumped into the lake and started its way across the lake I started to feel some relief. However, I lived in terror for years. I believe I suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome. After that event I listen to your shows and use them as a type of therapy. I am able to relate to others and their experiences. Knowing that I am not alone gives me a sense of relief. I have told many people about my experience. I often encounter people who are dismissive, but this doesn't faze me in the least. Once you know, you know. And for anyone who says they want a Bigfoot experience, I would caution them against it. It will change your life and most likely not in a positive way. It's been many years now and I have not tent camped since. I have hauled my travel trailer to a State Parks, but I am not comfortable remote/primitive camping anymore. I could not bring enough fire power, nor do I think I am smarter than these things in their environment. I would not have a chance if they decided to harm me. I do go out on day hikes, but I am armed and I'm constantly looking for signs. I have turned around on trails before for no other reason than my gut told me something isn't right. That being said I love the PNW and will continue to push myself back into the beautiful areas that this State and BC has to offer. However, I'm no longer naïve."

Twisp is a small town located in the Methow Valley region of Okanogan County, Washington. The town's history dates back to the late 1800s when the first settlers arrived in the area. The town was named after the Twisp River, which flows through the area and is a tributary of the Methow River.In 1888, John Twisp, a surveyor, and his partner, Robert S. Fitch, opened a trading post and hotel in the area. The trading post served as a gathering place for the local residents, and the hotel provided lodging for travelers passing through the area. The post office was established in 1897, and the town was officially incorporated in 1905.Twisp quickly became a hub for agriculture, logging, and mining in the surrounding areas. The town's economy was heavily dependent on these industries, and it grew rapidly during the early 1900s. In 1907, the town's first sawmill was built, which brought more jobs and prosperity to the area.Throughout the 20th century, Twisp continued to grow and develop, but it also faced some challenges. The Great Depression and World War II had a significant impact on the town's economy, and many of its residents left to find work elsewhere. In the 1960s and 1970s, the town experienced a resurgence as people began to move back to the area, drawn by its natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities.Today, Twisp is a thriving community with a population of around 1,000 people. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, who come to hike, fish, ski, and explore the area's many natural wonders. The town also has a vibrant arts community, with galleries, studios, and workshops showcasing the work of local artists and artisans.In summary, Twisp's history is one of growth, change, and resilience. From its humble beginnings as a trading post and hotel, the town has evolved into a vibrant and thriving community, thanks to the hard work and determination of its residents.Listen now to learn more about this fascinating Evergreen State town!A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at: https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastFind the podcast over on Instagram as well: @HISTORY_EVERGREENSTATEPODCASTYou can also find the podcast over on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@historyoftheevergreenstatepodThank you for listening to another episode of the History of the Evergreen State Podcast!
https://lex.substack.com/p/podcast-scaling-a-core-ledger-for#detailsIn this conversation, we chat with Jarred Ward, CEO and co-founder of Twisp. Ward has been tasked with building nearly every part of the modern financial ecosystem, from a greenfield core banking stack, direct integrations with Visa and the card networks for card issuing, and later, building a banking-as-a-service API on top of BBVA's global core.Ledgers are the detailed records of transactions and money movement for every fintech, yet they are continuously reinvented for every product.

Hello to you listening in Twisp, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. “The revolution begins at home. If you overthrow yourself again and again, you might earn the right to help overthrow the rest of us.” [~ Rob Brezsny]How do we overthrow ourselves?

My Engaged Storyism® Method invites you to leave behind the mere telling of story lines we habitually parrot to delve deep into feelings, sensations, emotions, images, and experiences with compassion, insight and humor. When we engage with our story we practice authentic communication with ourselves. When we learn how to authentically communicate with ourselves, we can use those tools to authentically communicate our message, values, story, truth with others - and invite them to be seen, heard, understood, and listened to by us.Curious?

We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Today - The Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority opted not to renew a $2 million purchase-and-sale agreement with S.P.O.R.T. Gymnastics on Tuesday. Before we jump in, we're excited to let you know that Wenatchee Wine & Food Fest is back this year on August 28th at the Town Toyota Center! Ticket holders will get a chance to sample small pours of amazing local wines, local ciders and beers… and of course, enjoy tasty bites from area restaurants and caterers. Make sure to get tickets in advance! We'll see you there! Now our feature story... The Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority opted not to renew a $2 million purchase-and-sale agreement with S.P.O.R.T. Gymnastics on Tuesday. A previous agreement expired Aug. 2 after S.P.O.R.T. failed to secure financing and file a completed building permit with the City of Wenatchee by the stipulated deadline. If those conditions are met, Port Authority CEO Jim Kuntz said the port would close on the sale. The property is now open to other buyers, but the port is not actively marketing it. The developer, Flint Hartwig, said he miscalculated how much time he would need for the project when the agreement was initially signed in August 2020. Although he has turned in preliminary plans, the city has not yet deemed them complete. Hartwig said “I should have seen that coming...I was just being overly optimistic about the timing. Despite the setbacks, the port's board remains supportive of the project. Kuntz told us that: “S.P.O.R.T. can and should continue to work on plans to submit to the city and to finalize its financing plan.” Hartwig said he has 60 individuals who may be potential investors and that the port's decision not to renew the agreement won't impact investors' interest in the project. S.P.O.R.T is planning a multi-use activity center using three buildings on the corner of Columbia Street and Orondo Avenue, a property formerly owned by Lineage Logistics, that total 36,830 square feet. The center would include a roof-top bar, zip-lines, batting cages and a ninja course. Hartwig said “It's going to be a crying shame if it turns into another apartment house or mini storage or car lot or some industrial use. I think it needs to have a community vibe to it.” The Merc Playhouse in Twisp is currently looking for submissions for its first, in-person performance since the start of the pandemic last spring. The show, “CoronAnthology: The year we held our breath,” will be a collection of stories of what 2020 meant to different cast members. Missi Smith, executive director of The Merc, said they had a similar performance in 2014 after an especially destructive wildfire season. Smith said: “It was very powerful when we did it before, to hear what everybody went through. It was super healing and valuable to reconnect with everybody in that way.” The show is flexible depending on what the director selects, and Smith encouraged all age groups to submit. Submissions must be shorter than 5 minutes and be either written, audio or video recordings, and can be submitted to hoochamungus@gmail.com. The deadline to submit is Aug. 30. An in-person submission session will also be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 25 at Yourspace in Building N on the Twispworks Campus. -- Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

Episode #27 of the Ground Shots Podcast features a conversation with Katie Russell, the founder of the Buffalo Bridge Project on the ongoing work of the Buffalo Bridge Crew. We sat down to chat in my camper behind the laundromat in Twisp, Washington while we ate cherries and saskatoon berries. Katie Russell lives in the Methow valley in Washington state, on the east side of the Cascades, which is in the rain shadow of those towering mountains. It's an area with expansive rolling hills and mountains with dry and desert like conditions but also features a diversity of eco-zones with various conifers, quaking aspens, Ceanothus and more. Katie currently runs the Saskatoon Circle Gathering, an ancestral skill gathering that is held in the valley every year. Katie has a homestead in the valley, teaches ancestral skills and has such a cute family! (Thanks to Em for babysitting her child Ranger during our laundromat-camper hosted chat.) I've known Katie informally over the years and went to the Saskatoon Circle Gathering back in 2016, this summer being the first time I've been back in awhile. I've also been following the Buffalo Bridge Project for some time. Katie often will do presentations at ancestral skills gatherings about what the work entails, so I've learned a bit about it. Katie agreed to do an interview about Buffalo Bridge LAST year when I asked her (Spring of 2018) and we finally were able to sit down and do it this summer. To give you a little bit of a background to the project, I'm going to quote whoever wrote the description of their indigogo campaign (perhaps Harmony?) to raise money for the expenses involved, because they wrote it so poignantly: (words taken from BBP's indigogo campaign:) During the winter of 2013, Katie stumbled upon the native buffalo hunt outside Yellowstone National Park. After meeting a few of the hunters and diggin' around in some gut piles, she knew she HAD to return to explore the possibilities. In winter of 2014, Katie gathered a small crew and returned to Yellowstone to make use of the left-behind pieces of the hunt - hides, skulls, bones, fur, organs, and more. The crew set up camp right outside the hunting grounds, ready at any time to help, to share knowledge, and to offer skills in anyway the families needed. In the process, BBP began making connections with the buffalo, the native hunters, the Buffalo Field Campaign, park officials, tourists and townsfolk alike. Focused on using every part of the animal, The Buffalo Bridge Project is building a bridge between cultures, factions, and political lines in the common recognition of the innate worth of the buffalo, and our own shared humanity. The project has continued every year since the initial camp outside of Yellowstone National Park. Less than 200 years ago, 60 million buffalo roamed the country. Their grazing patterns maintained the integrity of our native grasslands. They recycled nutrients back into the soil with every step, planting seeds, fertilizing and watering as the herds migrated over the prairies. Their wallows created much needed prairie lakes and ponds with precious freshwater ecosystems. They provided food and shelter for innumerable species, from frogs and lizards to antelope and beetles. The buffalo were one of the most important keystone species in the ecology of the plains, often referred to as "large scale ecological engineers." Many of the nation's First People depended on the buffalo for most of their survival needs. Because they provided so much, the herds of bison became integral to almost every part of human life; they offered food, shelter, clothing, children's toys, silverware, blankets, clothing, rope, bags, water carriers, bowstrings, glue, tools, fire fuel, and more. The herds once numbered in the millions, and provided a comfortably abundant life for many of the buffalo hunting people. By the early 1900's, however, European colonization had almost completely eradicated the species. Within a few generations, as few as 23 wild Bison remained. These solitary animals had survived by finding refuge deep in Yellowstone National Park's boundaries. The decimation of the wild buffalo was crippling to the cultural biosphere of the First Nations. The very fabric of the native's way of life had been destroyed, and as a result, much of the culture of the buffalo people was lost, relegated to the memories and stories of the people who still remembered the way it once was. Today, through many years of political conflict and ecological turmoil, the bison population in Yellowstone has grown to around 4,900. These are the last truly wild bison in the country. Yet every year, there is a state-funded culling of the bison, in which Yellowstone officials ship portions of the buffalo herd out to slaughter. Very recently, several Native tribes have started exercising their treaty rights to hunt the wild bison, just as their ancestors have for hundreds, if not thousands of years. After almost 200 years of being severed from the very animal that was once the very heart of everyday life, many families are finally able to reclaim their traditions and reconnect with their cultural heritage once again. Buffalo Bridge is dedicated to honoring Buffalo Culture by remembering the traditions of the Buffalo People who have been living with and hunting buffalo since time immemorial. The Buffalo Bridge Project wishes to celebrate the sophistication, ingenuity, and resilience of these people by attempting to reconnect with these Old Ways of living and being. BBP also recognizes that these traditions are not our own, and think that its important to re-imagine our own ways of connecting with the land we now call our home. BBP feels that all of humanity has a shared past; one in which we all hunted animals and transformed animal skins into clothing, used stone knives, gathered plants, and made friction fire, and through enacting these very ancient patterns, we are able to remember our shared humanity. In this podcast episode with Katie, we talk about: what the Buffalo Bridge project is and how it started the different perspectives on how the buffalo should currently be treated a little on the history of the intertwined genocide of the buffalo and indigenous peoples who lived with the buffalo some information on when the state of Montana sued the federal government for the buffalo crossing out of federal land the area where Yellowstone National Park is as the 'cradle' of where buffalo spring from the earth, and where the last wild herd of buffalo still live the treaty that gave rights to indigenous people to hunt buffalo on their own ancestral lands and how that treaty was revived with the intentional revival of buffalo populations in the 90's how the folks at Buffalo Bridge navigate the cultural and political bridges in buffalo country how the folks at Buffalo Bridge play a role as scavengers in the buffalo hunt the 'ship and slaughter' baiting practice happening during the buffalo hunt to keep the buffalo numbers at a certain population and how it is a politically charged issue navigating why certain people fear the wild the important role of the buffalo ecologically Links: Facebook page for the project: https://www.facebook.com/oldwaysbuffalo/ Outside magazine article on the Buffalo Bridge Project: https://www.outsideonline.com/2086566/montanas-grid-bison-scavengers @buffalobridge https://www.instagram.com/buffalobridge/ @saskatooncircle https://www.instagram.com/saskatooncircle/ Saskatoon Circle website: https://www.saskatooncircle.com/ Buffalo Field Campaign, mentioned in the podcast: https://www.buffalofieldcampaign.org/ Support the podcast on Patreon to contribute to our grassroots self-funding of this project.
