Mukilteo (at Rose Hill)

At Rose Hill, you must

try rose water chocolate,

see Possession Sound

the color of storms.

At Rose Hill, you must

try lavender cheesecake,

see the white caps

cupping evergreen rain.

At Rose Hill, you must

try Bangalore spice,

see the lighthouse,

see the shore,

see the thunderbirds rich with lore.

At Rose Hill, you must

try yellow curry, coconut milk,

see Hat Island,

taste cinnamon dust.

At Rose Hill, you must.

Mukilteo is a city on the coast of Washington and a favorite of my family with its spectacular views, scrumptious chocolate, bold Northwest Coast art, fine restaurants, and delightful atmosphere.
