The sun shines on Sasquatch!.
We’ve finally washed clean every baked-on layer of dust, so it’s time for a proper, chronological photographic look back at last weekend’s Sasquatch! Music Festival. Beyond all the attention-grabbing artists we’ve written about, there was plenty of other fun to be had in the hot Memorial Day weekend sun at The Gorge. Here are the images that capture some of our favorite moments.
