Four years ago today, I started this blog. It’s been a fun ‘side project’ – you know, something to occasionally fill some spare minutes between working, momming, being a wife, playing chauffeur, running a household, etc., etc. Haha. (OK, OK. I actually just do it to avoid cleaning.)

In all seriousness, if you’re reading this – thank you. It means a lot that you take a few minutes from time-to-time to see what’s happening out here in Portland. In case you’re not familiar with how going west coastal came to be – check out this post – and then click the links at the bottom for a trip down “How the Clarks became Portlanders” memory lane.

If you like reading this blog – it’d be awesome if you could share it with a friend (or two) (or 10) – have them like the going west coastal Facebook page. I’ve been mulling over the idea of writing a book (because I totally have time for that – hahaha!) and I can only assume strong readership of my blog would be a good thing if I pursue that.

Thank you!
