- Kitsap Peninsula (en.wikivoyage.org)
The Kitsap Peninsula is in the Puget Sound of Washington State, between the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. It is almost an island, connected to the mainland by only a 2 mi (3.2 km) wide stretch of land near Belfair. Quaint harbor towns and beaches ring a thickly-forested interior that offers a variety of parks, golf courses and endless rural charm.
- Luther Burbank (Wikipedia)
Luther Burbank (March 7, 1849 – April 11, 1926) was an American botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank’s developments included those of fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed (but did not create) a spineless cactus (useful for cattle-feed) and the plumcot.
