The new building replaces an inflatable structure read more »
Mike Runion and Travis Guterson take their beer seriously. So seriously, that the two 20-somethings decided to partner up about three years ago to bring a microbrewery to Gig Harbor. 7 Seas Brewing (www.7seasbrewing.com), not yet a year old, has been doing so well, it’s already expanded its brewing capacity. And in another month, the two entrepreneurs will charter new territory: 7 Seas will become the first microbrewery in Washington state to can its beer.
It hasn’t been a completely smooth road. Last year, the brewery was devastated by a fire. Located in downtown Gig Harbor at the time, 7 Seas lost as much as 80 percent of its equipment to the blaze. They were a day away from their building inspection and about six weeks away from starting production. read more »

Back in the 1970’s, Nissan, then known as Datsun, was first to market in the U.S. with a compact pickup — well before Ford, Chevy, Dodge — or Toyota. That truck has morphed into today’s Frontier.
Nissan seriously upped the ante in 2005, redesigning the Frontier, and capturing the leading edge of this market segment. The Frontier is built on the same rugged F-Alpha platform as the full-size Titan pickup, Armada and Pathfinder SUVs. Naturally, they share a number of significant features including fully boxed all-steel, body-on-frame construction. read more »

All 50 states are represented, with interest from both Ford and non-Ford customers. In fact, 51 percent of Fiesta reservations are from non-Ford customers.

The big $4.00/$5.00@ gallon gas scare seems to have subsided in the wake of tougher economic times, but the push to save resources and “drive green” hasn’t. The fact that people aren’t panicking about gas prices makes now an even better time to purchase a hybrid. When crazy second stickers were in force they wiped out much of the financial savings afforded by hybrids. If you buy one now with a more noble green philosophy you’ll still end up saving the folding type of green. read more »
Acuras are wonderful long distance cars. They’re built so well and so comfortable that the miles just melt away. I’ve always felt that Acura cars were based on outstanding engineering. That super solid basis comes through when covering multi-state distances.
The precision engineering shines on boring freeways and even more on secondary roads. The Acura TSX is a nimble sedan read more »
