Located in the shadow of Mount Rainier, South Hill was once a rural area known for timber and farming. From its beginnings as a Puyallup Tribe hunting ground to the post-World War II building boom, South Hill has undergone a striking transformation. Follow the trials of the pioneers who passed through on the Naches Trail and the settlers who grew hops for local brewers. Uncover the origins of Thun Field and its lesser-known predecessor, the S&S Airport. Relive the glory days of the Puyallup Raceways and celebrate the triumph of local Olympic gold medalist Megan Quann. Join author Carl Vest and the South Hill Historical Society as they explore the roots of South Hill.
The aim of this book is to draw attention to the many interesting building features and monuments present in and around the four villages and surrounding farms and hamlets in north Northumberland. It is a 'potterer's guide' to local building styles and techniques that have determined the character of the villages, the countryside and the life of the people in the area.

In 1425 the building of the great dome of Florence cathedral is reaching a critical point. Filippo Brunelleschi, an irascible genius, is in charge of its construction, watched over by his patron, the powerful banker Cosimo de' Medici. Young Assistant Building Supervisor Luca da Posara can't think of anywhere else in the world that he'd rather be: it's the birth of the Renaissance and the very air seems alive with fresh ideas, in science, philosophy, art and architecture. But then he finds the body of a visiting mathematician, brutally murdered. Papers on the corpse allege that Filippo Brunelleschi stole his ideas. Who had him murdered? Filippo or Cosimo? Or the hot-headed sculptor Donatello, Filippo's closest friend? Or one of their bitter artistic or political rivals, to destroy Filippo and discredit Cosimo? After a second killing, Luca feels compelled to turn amateur detective - and discovers it's all a matter of perspective.
