On a gray weekday morning, a distracted woman's dirty blond hair slaps against her cheeks as she crosses North Samish Way barefooted, a vacant look in her eyes as she dodges traffic. She doesn't avoid the puddles as she makes her way to a gas station. It is not an uncommon sight for this stretch of
