April Showers Bring May Flowers — AND BABY GEESE!

by | May 31, 2022 | Events, Misc., News & Updates

For the 6th year in a row, once spring rolls around, a familiar Mother Goose returns to the back deck of Lether Law Group, where she lays her eggs. This year, Mother Goose laid six eggs in one of our gardening boxes on the back porch.

For weeks, the Lether Law Group team witnessed how tenderly Mother Goose cared for her 6 eggs. Sometimes, the Lether Law Group team would also witness Father Goose swimming from a short distance, making sure that no hunter or gatherer posed a threat to his growing family.

On May 15, 2022, Mother Goose and Father Goose officially became the happy parents of 6 little goslings. The little hatchlings, pictured below, are brightly colored yellow with a hint of green.

The next time you paddleboard, kayak, or take your boat around South Lake Union, keep a look out for these little ones. Happy Spring!

Lether and Associates 2019 Christmas Party and Curling Event

by | Dec 20, 2019 | Events

The holidays are a special time for Lether and Associates. In addition to our annual firm meeting, the firm enjoys our holiday Christmas decorating party and our annual out-of-the-office group activity. These activities in the past included a scavenger hunt at the Semiahmoo Resort in 2015, an Iron Chef cooking competition in 2016, and a wine tasting and winery tour in 2018.

In 2019, we decided to do something a little more athletic. Drawing on our northwest roots and love of Olympic winter sports, the firm held a full-day curling event. Everyone had an opportunity to learn how to curl at the Granite Curling Club in Seattle and a little friendly competition.

We followed up on the curling with our annual tree decorating event. It was a great day enjoyed by all. Happy Holidays to everyone who participated and of course to all our clients, family, and friends.
