I grew up in Kitsap County and visited many of the rocky beaches. After a high tide it was interesting to walk the beach and see what had changed with banks sliding and bringing down trees. My first assignment for Washington State University Extension was in Pacific County. That was when I saw the salt marshes as I traveled to various communities between South Bend and Long Beach. Now I’ve become a snow bird living in Mesa, Arizona and I miss going to the beach but not the rain.
