Four of these students also made the Top 10 in the Nation in their event category: Vera Heferle, Bobby Payne, Kale Morrison and Izzy Wagner. During their down time, they were able to visit Pike Place Market, watch a Seattle Mariners baseball game, tour the Space Needle and they even rode a ferry to Bainbridge Island for dinner one night. The students and their chaperones all returned home with some wonderful pictures, stories and experiences of their trip to the Northwest.
