It took Caskey all of 10 minutes in his first Sounders game to become a fan favorite. He always plays hard. Even when he's having an off game, his body language never changes. (Bonus points: He's no diver.) Great to see him spend some time with the kids at the Boys & Girls Club.

My favorite Sounder. Hard worker, creative and with a good shot!

Ugh. That's not good, Starla. How many times a week do you and husband cross, or at least try toRead More cross that crosswalk.

I have seen orange flags (like the kind you use on the boat with a water skier) used at crosswalksRead More in Redmond. Perhaps putting a PVC pipe in the ground on either side of the road or attached to the nearby sign posts with a few flags inside for you to hold out/carry to the other side when you're crossing would be helpful?

Brent, we cross it about at least once a week.
