Meridian, Washington is near of Forks, Washington where it faces the Pacific Ocean. Facing the south of Forks, about 4 hours away to be exact. The beaches are cold during the winter but the brave solders that are known, as the local surfers will throw themselves towards it. It is not that far of a drive (maybe 10 hours, 14- depending) of Seattle, Washington but it’s closer to Tacoma.
It’s an upcoming town, known for it’s fresh fishing; it’s granola like way of living. Although there is a Starbucks, a Wal-mart is kind of hard to find. Most people find it the perfect place to raise kids.
But don’t think it’s exactly ‘small town’. Meridian is known for it’s posh record shops (locally known Pet Sounds which has been around for years) and the up and coming cleverly known ‘The Record Shop’. Jitterbug the local coffee shop that rivals Starbucks- for if you’re in Washington, there has to be one. It holds a variety of shops, mostly locally owned. The community as a whole stands firm and very apart of Washington. But as any up and coming town it’s had a boom of youngsters, either moving across the country to discover the place or born and rose near or in Meridian.
Some reasons for Washington not having state taxes taken out of checks, for better education system and public health-care. Other can be because it accepts everyone or any background or culture.
It’s one of those places that if you wanted to reinvent yourself or discover who you are, it’s the place to come.

WHO: Forrest, Open WHERE: Library WHEN: Sept 13/ 11:00 am : This year had started off pretty good for him. He went to homecoming with some of his friends and got a lot of good pictures to go in the paper. He k new the deadlines for the article was coming up so and he really needed to get on it.
Instead of sitting in computer class doing class work he decided to look through all of the pictures Forrest sat at one of the computers in the library, inserting the memory chip. He still needed to get opinions from several of the students around school and their thoughts on how homecoming was for them along with a bit from the king and queen. Forrest was all about the paper usually but last weekend he did everything else but and now he was sitting in the library flipping through pictures trying to find a good one with his to do list sitting next to him:
