OLYMPIA -- So it's the calm before the election night storm here in Olympia, and with time to spare on the way back from the Washington State Redistricting Commission meeting today, (story above) I stopped to admire the fall colors which are still very much on display.

This is the north side of the Capitol Building from the north entrance to the Sunken Garden.
