Seattle sunshine: such a tease. One day she’s hot and heavy, the next she’s the queen of hard-to-get.
Had enough of her childish games? Us, too. So we asked photography students from local nonprofit Youth in Focus to cheer us up by capturing the first signs of summer.


There now. Who says summer in Seattle doesn’t start until July 5?
Youth in Focus empowers urban teens through photography to experience their world in new ways and make positive changes in their lives. For more information, go to youthinfocus.org.
