It might be because I'm actually from the Midwest, but every time we pass by some Northwest-y type oyster farm, fish farm, aquatic anything we usually stop. On a recent trip to Westport WA, we stopped by Brady's Oysters to grab some sea life to go. Check it out - even better, plan a paddling trip from nearby Johns River State Wildlife Area and stop here for some oyster refreshments!

The Mrs. and I took a little day trip to Fort Flagler, one of the three forts guarding (or once guarding) the waterway leading to Seattle. The other two - Fort Worden and Fort Casey - were visible across the water. This fort is just south of Port Townsend (but a little farther to drive than you think because you have to drive around the Bay to Marrowstone). Fort Flagler has lots of trails, a campground & RV area, plenty of beach, tall bluffs with great views, a small museum, bunkers to explore, and even old remodeled houses to rent (I bet staying here on a full moon would be magical with the surrounding water and the lack of street lights). Don't forget, these days you'll need a Discover Pass to park at Fort Flagler (and every State park it seems), but this was totally worth it! ~Paul & Amber ETC P.S. After looking through the fort museum and reading about the rich history of the place I decided to give my pics from this trip the black and white treatment. Enjoy! |
