Saturday my best friend Ruth and I went to Olympic Beach in Edmonds to hang out and get caught up since we hadn’t seen each other in a while. We arrived at the beach a little after 5 pm.
The weather was sublime. It was about 71 degrees, there were only a few high hazy clouds, and a nice breeze was blowing off the water to make sitting in the intense June sun extremely pleasant. The lone picnic table was unoccupied, so we were able to nab it for our gab fest.
The Heron Habitat Helpers will be hosting their annual birthday party for the great blue heron chicks hatched at Commodore Park. Volunteers will be available to answer questions about herons and telescopes are provided to get close looks at the nests.
The party will be in the east section of Commodore Park in the picnic area (I think) on Saturday, June 15th from 10 am to 1 pm. Details about Commodore Park and how to get there are available here.

Every summer Discovery Park runs a shuttle bus to the beach to handle crowds on weekends.
