Herewith, feast your eyes on 10 snapshots of backyards, patios, pools, firepits and beyond in styles that suit just about everyone.

Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?
A Ketchikan company is working with WSU researchers to see whether its kelp-based biostimulant can help grapes and berries withstand environmental stress.
