Mackie Blackburn (Orcas High School, Class of 2012) will be graduating from the University of Washington this spring, and has been accepted into graduate school at the U.W., where he will pursue a Master’s degree in Computational Linguistics.
Mackie’s family will be hosting a celebration in his honor on the afternoon of Sunday, June 12 at the family farm on Crescent Beach (the old haunted house with the owl in the window). Anyone who knows Mackie is encouraged to drop by in the late afternoon, any time after 4 p.m. Bring your musical instruments.

Way to go, Mackie! You have had such focus and it is surely paying off. Looking forward to the next adventure.
