Summary
Congress is burying a time capsule under the Capitol for its 250th anniversary, and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez from Southwest Washington is celebrating local heritage with a hand-carved apple made from Tenino sandstone — quarried in her district and carved by master stonecutter Keith Phillips. The apple connects to her family’s legacy: her great-great-uncle was a stonecutter, and her great-grandfather managed the quarry that supplied stone for the Washington state Capitol. It’s more than art — it’s history, craftsmanship, and a tribute to the enduring traditions of skilled trades, meant to inspire future generations.
