2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2017 ‘It’s National Park Week. What’s your favorite park — national or otherwise?’ “Since I’m an Oregonian, I’ll say Crater Lake. But I could just as easily say Olympic National Park.” THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK Hobe Kytr, Astoria “Yosemite. I’ve been there several times, and it’s awesome and breathtaking.” Sharene Pasch, Astoria “Probably McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, on the Willamette River. I think so because of its beauty and the way the city of Portland has integrated the urban landscape into the natural landscape, enhancing the beauty of the river and making it accessible to people. It’s also a venue for city activities. Connie Hunt, Svensen OBITUARIES Ruth C.
