Just one of the best towns ever!

Ok cool I pulled up the website and I will call. I also plan to contact legislative. This is just not something I agree with and want more understanding of why. I literally grew and still live close to multiple giant “working” forests. I know there are many more. I see what they are doing out on the Olympic peninsula and it’s frustrating and heartbreaking. I feel like we have to stand up to this bs.

I hope there is. I would be interested in doing so. I had to witness a massacre of forest I grew up with and it’s been something I can’t truly heal from. I really think we need to protect our forests. We already have quite a bit of forests for timber specifically. I grew up around it.

I will definitely look into that. Hopefully it doesn’t come down to people chaining themselves to trees.

Aren’t they cutting 100 acres in Lewis county of old growth forest? What can we do to stop this?

For some reason I thought it might be Denali.

Sequim

I’m really sorry to hear that. That is really bizarre behavior because PT needs tourism besides locals. They rely heavily on tourist season for a lot of the shops in downtown. I love the in between. I liked when they had the deck open downstairs and you could drink right on the water. I’m really sorry you had that experience. That bar is in a space that has turned over many times in the last decade. With behavior like that I don’t see it lasting long. Shit service doesn’t really work. I love PT and spend a lot of time there but I will admit it’s never really at bars. Did you try soak on the sound while you were there?

That couldn’t be more true. We are much more destructive than dogs. In every national park I bring garbage bags to pick up litter. After Fourth of July I go out to the beaches to clean up fireworks and garbage. In regards to the spit I think it’s mainly so dogs don’t chase the birds.

May I ask what happened?

Sequim. It’s the Dungeness spit.

No dogs allowed because it’s a protected area. You’re right!

I couldn’t agree more. I’m born and raised here! Currently living in another state. But I’m back home in late March and I couldn’t be happier. Washington is one of my favorite places and states!

It is!

That’s really cool. I’m curious the cost. I’m going to look into that!

It’s such a beautiful walk! I saw the lighthouse from a mile away but I had to turn around I didn’t have enough time before sunset. It’s been a bummer

Yea I’ve only taken them off a few times but I wasn’t walking far. The times I’ve tried to make the trek I’ve worn shoes! I’ve almost made it a few times but I have stage four endometriosis and it made walking at times very hard. But I had a hysterectomy and I am determined to make it the next time I try!

Ediz hook is such a cool spot. I love watching the sunset from there!

Yea it’s a protected area. You park above in the lot and walk down. It’s a beautiful place. You can walk above the cliffs and see down and all the way to port angeles. I’ve spent a lot of time there I just never make it to the end for some reason 🤣

Thank you for the information! I’m super curious. I can’t wait to see it! I plan to do this when I get back at the end of March!

Dungeness Spit in Sequim

Nice! I made it four miles but had to turn around because you have to be out by sunset if you aren’t camping. They lock the gate. I plan to do it this spring! Can you go in the lighthouse?

Vashon is beautiful. The islands are truly amazing. Lummi, Bainbridge, Whidbey, Lopez, Orcas… there are more of course and they are all magical places. I grew up riding ferries. I ended up commuting 5 days a week on them for almost 8 years. The sunset or sunrise boats are my favorite. I recommend it to people visiting. Especially because many states don’t have ferry systems like this.

Thank you! Commuted for over 8 years on them.
