If the blue skies and sunny weather in Olympia aren’t enough to indicate that spring might be upon us, the sight of blooming flowers surely is. These crocuses were spotted growing near the Cherberg Building Monday afternoon by our office’s very own Patrick McDonald.

We invite you to e-mail your photos and stories to us as part of an ongoing feature called “From Your Corner of Washington” – we want to gather images of landscapes, homes, views, and personal narratives from all over the state.

Q) How do I submit a photo or story to be used in “From Your Corner of  Washington”?
A) Please send your text or image attachment (in JPG format) via e-mail to Stephanie Horn at [email protected] .
