NEW HOTEL!
savor summer! Summer has arrived and we at ShowCase Magazine invite you to savor the ease of life that comes with the “Art of Living” in the summer months. Savor longer days, dining al fresco, travel and the best of cultural experiences here in our backyard. Speaking of our backyard, we are pleased to turn the spotlight on singer and Tacoma native Vicci Martinez. She graciously shared her insights on life, success, music and her unique perspective coming from Tacoma. Cooking in the backyard takes on an innovative twist with Chef Holly, recently named Celebrity Chef for the 2012 Gig Harbor Food and Wine Festival. Learn about her love for cooking and why our area’s abundance of rainy days keeps her in a constant state of creativity. Senior writer Candace Brown shares the expertise and design plans for Tehaleh, by Newland Communities. The master plan for these 4,200 acres in Bonney Lake will be developed through local feedback and a mindful approach to the strategic vision for a sustainable, vibrant and rich community, you guessed it, in our backyard.
