A Dramatic Arctic Front Pushes Southward into Washington State

 

A common sight in Puget Sound area homes and business back in the 1970s. Fun to have now, when they can be found.

Out for an afternoon beach walk on Monday. We started at the Westport observation tower, near the boat basin. We walked south on the beach to the end of Halfmoon Bay, then up to Westport Jetty.

Excellent info on Westhaven State Park posted by willhiteweb.com:

Westhaven & Westport Light State Park

We looked back at views of the Olympic Mountains, surf, and Bulk Carrier LA TONDA anchored off Westport.

Several sites on the web offer info on ship locations.
