Welcome to Six Lakes Studios!

I am changing the website up, but the same content will still be posted. The name is new, the Logo is new, the design is… in progress [insert awkward chuckle].

I felt like the name “Cascades Stories” was too limiting even though a story could mean many things, it feels like it describes just written stories. But that’s not all we have!

So, why Six Lakes Studios? Well, I thought hard to find a name that meant something to me. Then I remembered: I have a lot of memories surrounding lakes, especially the Lakes of Lakewood. One thing I remember best from my childhood is driving over the bridge in Interlaaken, Lakewood, over Lake Steilacoom, in my grandma Marliss’ van, whenever we went to the donut shop. May she rest in peace.

The new logo is a trace I made of Lakewood’s six biggest lakes: American, Steilacoom (“Still-uh-Come”), Gravelly, Louise, Waughop (“Wah-Op”), and Carp. I originally had Secqualitchew Lake on there as well, but then remembered that it’s on Fort Lewis in Joint Base Lewis-McChord. I was actually wanted to rename the site “Lake Media,” but a quick internet search told that name was already taken (Thanks, Bing!).

I wasn’t planning to do the name change so soon, but things will be picking up soon, and I want to get the ball rolling. We need more good things right now, after the shaky first year-and-a-half of this damn decade.

I hope you enjoy the new site!
