11 - Washington Coast

All week we've been on the Washington Coast.  Monday thru Friday was spent in La Conner, WA (north of Seattle, near the San Juan Islands).   Our campground was on the water with its own little beach.

As Paul's niece said when she was little, "Oh, if I could live anywhere, it'd be here!"  One day was spent driving around Whidbey Island/Deception Pass/navy base, another day in Seattle at the Pike Street Market, and another day ferrying through the San Juan's. 

Unfortunately, my two co-worker buddies (Cathy and Jack) were in Chicago for the week so no visit with them.

This week-end we're in Ocean City, WA, again on the beach.  It just isn't the San Juan's though.  Monday we're off to Oregon.

After about 20 min., this guy had made no headway!

Pike St. Market (Seattle) - Crab, lobster, salmon, cod?

Ferry to the San Juan Islands (late as usual)

Landing at my personal favorite, Orcas Island

More Orcas - the village

Beautiful night in the San Juan's

What the heck is this, we said?  After walking the beach, it came in real handy in finding the path back to the campground!  (Ocean City, WA)

Big dogs!  (Nah, riders in the sands.)
