Happy Monday, Vancouver!

Ahhh, yesterday’s rain…what a refreshing little reminder that fall might be on its way… or it might not.

September in Vancouver is a mystery: could be sweater weather, could be popsicle weather, could be both in the same afternoon. All we know is we’re rooting for the trend line to keep inching downward. In the meantime, we’ve got some big school updates and, believe it or not, a heaping lineup of weekday events you won’t want to miss.

Anyways, here's what to expect in today's edition of The PNW Report (Vancouver):
