See Ruby Beach, Hoh Rain Forest, Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, Visit Orcas Island, Cross the North Cascades Highway over to Mazama and Winthrop then down the Columbia. Go to Spokane and drive up to Colville, then back down all the way to Pullman (stop at Steptoe Butte) and explore the Palouse. Explore the Columbia Gorge. See Mt Adams and go back to Rainier. Wander around Hood Canal.

And so much more!

My family was stationed out here, lived in Bremerton, Bangor and Silverdale. We left when I was 11 and I pilgrimaged my way back at 22 in 1980, arriving two days before St. Helens popped.

Been hunkered-down like a geoduck ever since!

Sorry, I meant the Salish peoples in general.

Ape Caves, near Mt. Adams. Ask the Coast Salish peoples yo ;)

Edit: Salish peoples generally.

Me too. My smoothbrain hurts.

I am also amazed and I majored in Geography at University. Here in Washington, we have glaciers, temperate rain forest, fjords, high desert, grasslands, mountain peaks, volcanoes, and much much more. I really believe that Washington has the most geographic diversity of all 50 States.

Plus Sasquatch.

Moclips Baby!

Thanks. Especially since the pic doesn't identify where on this river it was taken. I'm not into geolocating the secret fishing hole. As there are a lot of rivers on the Peninsula, I was curious. You know. Hoh, Queets,, Bogachiel, Quilleute etc., just in general.

Why am I being downvoted just for being curious which river the fish is from? Seriously people?

It's a very nice salmon and I love watching them spawn.

Which river please?
