This was at Rialto beach on the Washington coast. There were hundreds of Pelicans this day. These two kept swimming dangerously close to these crashing waves.

Ruby Beach
I just love the Washington coast. It’s always so rugged and beautiful. And only 60-90 minutes away from Sequim.
Beach #2 at Kalaloch
Washington beaches get huge amounts of logs on them, especially after storms or high tides. You must be very careful to NEVER be near a log that is near the surf. The surf tosses and rolls thousand pound logs like little tinker toys, and people routinely get pinned or crushed by them.
The salmon run (flight)
When a friend and I went to Solduc falls, we saw quite a line up pulled over at the rive so we stopped to see what was the commotion. The salmon were running heavily and it was so fun to watch them launch themselves up the little falls.
Cape Flattery Trail view
This is close to the end of the trail, just before you can view the island with the lighthouse (if it’s not fogged in). They have really nice platforms built for safe viewing. Weather is always very unpredictable here. This was my third trip here and my first time actually being able to see the lighthouse and the other side of most the inlets!
Cape Flattery Lighthouse
The Cape Flattery Light is a historic lighthouse structure located at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Neah Bay, Clallam County, in the U.S. state of Washington, within the Makah Indian Reservation.
In September 2009, a three-phase clean-up of Cape Flattery was completed by the Coast Guard. A thirty-foot skeletal light tower topped by a solar-powered LED light was installed on the island in 2008, allowing old generators and fuel tanks to be removed. The decommissioned Cape Flattery Lighthouse has been turned over to the Makah Indian Tribe, who controls the island.
Cape Flattery in Fall
One of the many inlets at Cape Flattery trail.
Cape Flattery is only a 90 minute drive (on a VERY WINDING road) from Sequim.
