- Rattlesnake Ledge (summitpost.org)
Over 20,000 hours of volunteer trail renovation was completed in 2003 by Washington trails Association, Earthcorps, Mountains-to-Sound Greenway Trust, and Seattle Public Utilities making this hike almost a mile longer but much more pleasant.
- Giant star (Wikipedia)
A giant star has a substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature. They lie above the main sequence (luminosity class V in the Yerkes spectral classification) on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and correspond to luminosity classes II and III. The terms giant and dwarf were coined for stars of quite different luminosity despite similar temperature or spectral type (namely K and M) by Ejnar Hertzsprung in 1905 or 1906.
