JOIN US ON A ROADTRIP THAT'S SURE TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

This year, PEMCO Insurance is sending teams of genuine Northwest-loving people to community events and activities across the state. Some are in support of a good cause, some just sound like a good time - but either way, we hope you'll stop by and say hi. Look for us wherever you see the big green PEMCO van. And if we miss each other, drop us a note here and tell us what's on your mind.

Remember, there's no place quite like home, especially this time of year. So get out there and enjoy!

Marymoor Off-Leash Dog Park: Dog Heaven

July 2, 2009 4:07pm
Do dogs think of heaven? If they do, the Marymoor Off-Leash Dog Park must be its incarnation on earth.

Yesterday, I joined PEMCO Brand Ambassadors Peter Young and Anna Friedman and walked through the 40 acre park on the outskirts of Redmond, filled with trails, lush greenery, open fields and apparently the dogs' favorite feature, a swimming stream.

We drove out in WALLY1, our PEMCO Brand Ambassador van, to meet friends of both the two-legged and four-legged variety. We spent over three hours chatting about the park, even a little about what makes the Pacific Northwest special and offering treats – dog biscuits for our canine friends and a few "Marymoor Off-Leash Dog Lady" T-Shirts for the people.

We met great Northwest people (and dogs!) throughout our time at the park. Momo, a beautiful 10-year old Chow Chow mix, sauntered right up to the three of us with a friendly grin and her owner Kim. Kim confirmed our suspicion, that Momo loves Marymoor, and shared that she has been making friends in the park for more than 10 years. 

Cynthia, a Redmond resident and our first "Marymoor Off-Leash Dog Lady" T-Shirt winner, echoed the sentiment.  "We come here daily, sometimes twice a day," she told us as her pooch, a yellow lab named Lacey, sidled up to Peter, figuring out he was a soft-touch, and good for a second treat (she was right!).



If you are a Marymoor Park regular, or a "Marymoor Off-Leash Dog Lady" in your own right, stop by next Tuesday, July 7, when we will again visit Doggy Heaven on Earth!

It would be cool to see what the dog park features are! Never knew this was out there. A small virtual tour in the future?
