When you’re a hauler, the earlier you get to the When you’re a hauler, the earlier you get to the quarry on a Friday, the sooner you can start your weekend (as long as you’re not working Saturday, that is). Here a truck gets loaded with quarry spalls at Kapowsin Quarry.

The gabions at Van Lierop Park are the rockspirati The gabions at Van Lierop Park are the rockspirational project of the week. ⁣⁣Gabions are wire baskets filled with materials like rock.
⁣⁣
The park used to be Van Lierop Bulb Farm. To honor the farmers’ Dutch heritage, the landscape architects incorporated elements reminiscent of the Netherlands. Gabions crosscut the long walkways to create water channels—like the kind you might see next to a Dutch daffodil field.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Gabions also line the main walkway. Some are topped with yellow steel benches, performing double duty as art and furniture. ⁣⁣
⁣
When you visit, be sure the walk to the far end of the daffodil walkway for an amazing view of Mt. Rainier. You can also stroll through the wildflower fields, which are lush with lupine, clover, California poppies, and other flowers in spring and summer.
