Samish Bivalve Bash
Sure wish we had a Bivalve Muddy Run here with the extensive oyster beds around Willapa Bay.The annual fun time happens up at the Taylor Shellfish Farms in Bow, Washington. The famous 'mud' run in the muck starts the festivities which include an oyster shell art contest, yummy food, kids games, beer garden, dancing, music and oysters, oysters, oysters.
My kind of fun.
Here is the link to the event details.
No crab eating vampires here.
It seems 'thousands' of crabs washed up ashore north of our area - on Shi Shi Beach. This is the area where the Twilight vampires and werewolfs live. 
After the tribal chairman of the Makah Tribe investigated, he assured everyone they are just part of the normal molting process of crabs.
Here is more on the young man who was lost at sea over the 4th weekend. Very sad.

ASTORIA, Ore. - The Coast Guard rescued an injured man from a cliff near North Head Lighthouse near Ilwaco, Wash., Thursday.

The 34-year-old man from Selah, Wash., was fishing from the rocks with friends and fell while climbing back to shore.
An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew was dispatched to the scene where a rescue swimmer was deployed to the cliff face. The man was then taken to Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco where emergency service personnel were waiting to transport him to Ocean Beach Hospital in Ilwaco.

Many of the homes in Seaview are this style. Back when Stout first sold the 50x 100 lots- vacationers either built simple cabins or put tents on their plot.
Decorated for July 4th weekend and ready for S'mores!
