  1. Hype for the Future 146R: San Juan and Island Counties, Washington

    Overview Within the State of Washington, San Juan and Island Counties are associated with the Salish Sea and surrounding areas associated with the Juan de Fuca Strait and nearby Puget Sound and partially playing a role in the border complications between the United States and Canada. Today, the county seats for the respective counties are Friday Harbor and Oak Harbor, the former on San Juan Island and the latter on Whidbey Island. The insular communities are traditionally associated with […]

  2. Walking a beach is about the things you find washed up. Here's a clearly dead spotted ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei) that washed up at Fort Casey State Park. #nature #fish #marine #oceanography #PNW #Washington #WhidbeyIsland #FortCasey #marinelife

  3. Walking the beach at Fort Casey State Park (1/10/26). Finding pretty beach rocks. Windy. A Washington State ferry (MV Kennewick) begins crossing Admiralty Inlet from Keystone to Port Townsend. #walking #hiking #beach #PNW #Washington #WhidbeyIsland #FortCasey #WSF #ferry #travel #photography

  4. Puget Sound has crabs.

    An invasive species of European green crabs, “one of the world’s most harmful marine species,” has been detected in the Salish Sea. They “damage bed sediments, leading to the loss of eelgrass, an essential habitat for Dungeness crab and Pacific salmon.”

    The Tulalip Tribes reported “detection of a green crab in the southern Whidbey Basin at Mission Beach” earlier this year.

    Get outta here, crabbies!

  5. Took my new Ortlieb Back-Roller Classic pannier bags out for a test ride.

    Stopped to take a photo next to another mode of foot based transportation.

    Yabba-dabba-do!!!

  6. Well, earlier today was pretty nice over on Whidbey, riding in the Tour de Whidbey. Couldn't have asked for more perfect cycling weather and just about nonstop beautiful scenery during the ride. #bicycling #cycling #PNW #TourdeWhidbey #WhidbeyIsland #Whidbey #photography

  7. Rode 33 miles for the Tour de Whidbey. While my first year back on the bike after 40 years, I probably could have done 50 but I am not even close to those superstars doing 162 miles! Wow!

    Such a scenic route though, a few nice hills to test you and some downhills to recover.

  8. My first 40K ride. 28.5 miles actually.

    I wanted to see if I was ready before doing a 50K ride mid August.

    I felt good during the ride and know I can finished 50k but a few hours after, I feel beat! Like a nap would be marverlous.

    It'll be a while before I can do a 100K or even 100 miles.

    Maybe next year (STP!?!)

  9. Two rides today. A 6 mile ride where I snuck out but got rained on. Then during a period where the it looked like it wouldn't rain, I nabbed a 11 mile ride to Strawberry Point, staying dry all the way!

  10. We hit the Penn Cove Musselfest in Coupeville back earlier in March. We got there early, which was good because it got pretty crowded later. These kids, Kick Brass, were fun to watch, high school kids from Oak Harbor. #music #musician #band #brassband #PNW #WhidbeyIsland #Coupeville #PennCove #OakHarbor #photography

  12. This #FossilFriday found me on #WhidbeyIsland, whose bluffs have yielded many specimens of #Washington's state #fossil: the Columbian #mammoth. These particular #fossils are on display in #Coupeville's excellent #IslandCounty #Historical #museum

  13. Gorgeous day on Double Bluff Beach with Mt Tahoma (Rainer) and the Seattle skyline in the background (if you zoom in!). Have some drone footage that I need to offload and checkout as well.

  14. This is one of my favorite mugs. To me, a sea serpent happily playing around a ferry is just SO very #Washington. I mention it b/c the artist, Erika Rae Heins of Whidbey Island, has a #Kickstarter up for HOODIES with this picture. I've been begging for this design on a hoodie for years. She met her goal and they'll be made, but her car needs work and she could certainly use selling more. :)

  16. The Kittitas Heading To Whidbey

    For 7 years, every other week, I rode the Washington State Ferries to and fro Whidbey Island. And two years prior to that it was every week day. Sometimes I miss those days when the weather was like this.
