I went to Cicely, Alaska on my summer vacation

Wow, it has been three weeks since I made an entry to iblogtampabay! I could have written about Seattle and Ellensburg, WA.  I went to WA on August 31 and spent a week out there. My daughter, Kate is moving to WA to go to graduate school at Central Washington University. She had lots of business to take care of and I went along for the 5 – hour plane ride and subsequent 2- hour drive (it is a long way from Florida!).

I was delighted to discover that the town of Roslyn, the setting for Cicely, Alaska in the 1990’s TV series Northern Exposure, was only about 30 minutes outside of Ellensburg. I had to go! I was a big fan of the show, so it was cool to actually walk into Dr. Joel Fleishman’s office. They will be having a big 20^th Anniversary Celebration next year in Roslyn. Maybe I’ll make it!

This is the front of the Dick and Jane house in Ellensburg. This house is so cool and fun. I will try to post other pictures. It is right across the street from the Ellensburg Police Office!

KBHR is the radio station where “Chris in the Morning” broadcast his show from the fictional Cicely, Alaska
