WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers. However as you already own a domain you purchase a domain mapping upgrade to use it in conjunction with your .wordpress.com blog.
Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Not what you ask about – but looked at your blog – you probably should read: http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
And consider making your galleries as Posts and not Pages – it will make your site much easier to manage in the long run and much easier to break things up into sections (maybe Northwest or Seattle)

thank you timethief. I wanted to avoid the mapping, but if it is not possible I will do it
