Nice piece! Thanks for sharing. I grew up going to Harstine and fell in love with the sea there. I can’t remember if it was a local store or not but my parents let me buy four diver figurines somewhere nearby which I still have today, 30 years later. Ended up becoming a dive instructor!

This is beautiful! My grandmother’s friend Muriel wrote a book called Seaweeds at Ebb Tide. She had so many samples at her house and we all picked a favorite to identify when we were at our beaches, Indianola, Port Gamble, Belfair. Turkish towel was my favorite and I’m so glad you included it!

Back in the 50s and early 60s Harstine Island was well known for hunting rabbits. Just a little bit of history.

Went kayaking at Harstine. There were millions upon millions of finger-sized fish in the water beneath us.
My advice is to use the boat launch just before the bridge. It’s free, and you don’t have to hoof it 250 yards down to the water. The two state parks on the island itself suck.
Oh and there’s a chance of seeing bottle nose dolphins. They showed up in Puget Sound back in the 1990’s.
