I told my anxiety to take a hike. Here’s how it went.
I’d never been brave enough to trek to the old fire lookout at the top of Tolmie Peak, perched at nearly 6,000 feet.
The reason? I have anxiety.
Now in my thirties, I decided it was time to look that trail square in the switchbacks and say, “I’m gonna hike you.”

Case study: Frontline Community Delegation
Two billion worldwide people lack access to sufficient, nutritious food, while the agriculture workers and their families who grow the world’s food make up two thirds of the 740 million people facing extreme poverty.
Providing ample food to a growing global population while supporting food producers and protecting natural systems that sustain life is a key challenge of this decade. Meridian recognizes this urgency, and in response, set out to form the Frontline Community Delegation.

What Causes Pregnancy Hip Pain—and How to Find Relief
When you’re growing a human, it’s normal to feel some growing pains along the way. The changes a woman’s body goes through during pregnancy are incredible and uncomfortable all at the same time.
While the experience can differ wildly from person to person, most would agree that a painful pelvis is one pregnancy-related symptom that just can’t be avoided. I spent plenty of nights tossing and turning during my own pregnancy, trying to find a position that allowed my angry hips to simmer down long

Walking together, while apart
Cheron Stanley remembers being met with cheers, a sea of pink, and an overwhelming sense of empowerment when she set foot on the Come Walk With Me starting line for the first time in 2019.
It was a feeling she’s familiar with as a two-time breast cancer survivor. But for Cheron, seeing the collective impact of so many others who had overcome their own battles with cancer made the moment that much more powerful.

When the world ran out of PPE, community members and businesses stepped in to save lives
What do a furniture manufacturer and a plastic fabrication company have in common? They can both make things to keep health care workers safe, and they both care deeply about their communities.
When the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic created a worldwide shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE), it was businesses like these — and so many others across our region — that were there for health care workers.

It was a picturesque Fourth of July in the Pacific Northwest — sunny, warm and perfect for a day at the beach.
Curtis Groth was on his way to visit family near the Olympia waterfront with his two children, Eva, 4, and Jordan, 2. They planned to have a barbecue that day.
