www.seattlebusinessmag.com — I'll never forget the look on my husband's face when he held Betty for the first time. Cradling her almost reverently with a sparkle in his eyes and a childlike sense of wonder, Jim examined every facet of her sexy, smooth skin to ensure she was flawless and virginal, as promised. It was the way he used to gaze at me. He spent days researching Betty's numerous talents and learning how to best use and care for her. She was sleek, with smooth curves, a vision of perfection. She sang to him, dazzled him with sports trivia and kept him abreast of the latest news.

Neuts | Photos by Rachel Coward Tucked away in the Kent Valley, along the Green River, lies the Lazy River Farm, a lush, 6-acre orchard that yields fruit, nuts and herbs used by Sidetrack Distillery to make specialty spirits. Larry and Linda Person purchased the farm 20 years ago. They planted berries and had a U-pick business as a weekend hobby, but in 2010, after leaving the construction industry, they decided to try their hand at making liqueurs. Four years later, that hobby is a satisfying full-time job for the couple and their nephew, David O'Neal.

Enumclaw: A lot to like in a small town

Seattle Times — Originally published March 16, 2013 at 9:52 AM | Page modified March 20, 2013 at 7:22 PM Though she'd worked for the city of Kent for 20 years, Lesli Mataya, 52, has always had a fondness for Enumclaw, a small town of about 11,000 in the south end of King County. Her mother's family had grown up in Enumclaw, and the community had always felt like home to her. She was eager to return there after living in Maple Valley for years. "It was everything I wanted. It was worth the additional 15 minutes of commute time," says Mataya.

writersweekly.com — Whether you are a full-time freelancer, or are just dabbling in the writing life, there are countless ways to make money writing.

www.brassmagazine.com — The gig economy lets you freelance and work from home to your heart's content. The problem is that home can be distracting. Dogs! TV! Cozy couches! Some people need more discipline and structure, while others crave the creativity that bubbles up in a community of fellow professionals. A coworking environment combines the best of both worlds. Coworking can take a variety of forms, ranging from informal space in cafes and coffee shops to more formal settings like an office building or co-op. The purpose, however, is typically the same--providing a common space for independent workers to work side by side where they can network, collaborate, and share resources.
