Happy Birthday, Matt Briggs! Your talent for capturing the spirit of the Pacific Northwest has given readers vivid adventures along rivers and thought-provoking treks through rain-soaked forests. “The Remains of River Names” reminded us why sometimes a map is just an excuse to get wonderfully lost.“Shoot the Buffalo,” with all its humor and poignant storytelling, continues to resonate deeply—making countless people believe they truly understand Northwestern weather (spoiler alert: none actually do!). Keep writing those brilliant moments that turn everyday observations into lasting treasures.
Wishing you another year filled with laughter, literary success—and far fewer rainy hikes!
