Check out Fresh Flours pastry and coffee shop during the month of May and see my wildlife gallery exhibit! There are images ranging from 8x12 to 20x30. All images are professionally framed and for sale. 25% of any sales during the exhibit will be donated to Conservation Northwest.
Conservation Northwest connects and protects old growth and other wild areas from the Washington Coast to the BC Rockies to benefit people and wildlife. Since 1989 they have protected hundreds of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat around the state, from the coast to the Cascades to the Rockies.
Today Conservation Northwest is ensuring the region is wild enough to support wildlife, from wolves to grizzly bears to mountain caribou. They work with local communities on forest restoration, sustainable timber jobs, and wilderness protection. We help create safe passage and connectivity for wildlife, including those moving north and south across Interstate 90 in the Cascades, across the border with Canada, and east and west between the Cascades and Selkirks of the Rockies.

The story of Fresh Flours began with a dream and two business partners, Keiji and Etsuko.
Born and grew up in Tokyo, spent countless years of schooling in Pittsburg and Washington DC, Keiji has taken a keen interest in the world of baking over the years.
He took his first baking job at a busy bakery in East Village, NYC. With a passion for developing own unique recipe, Keiji decided to move out of the big city to start his baking business. Etsuko, with a vision of evolving Japanese influenced pastries, quickly joined. Along with their two dogs, they drove yellow Penske truck 3000 miles cross-country and landed in Seattle in September 2000.
For months, Keiji designed menu offerings from Japanese culture, and Etsuko mapped out the business plan. Their dream came true in July 2005 -- to have a place to experience all the pleasures that the finest pastries can bring – only the extraordinary pastries they love.
