I was a little apprehensive at first glance but this trail/boardwalk was a shady and avian delight!…read more Park along the road before the gate. Walk about 8 minutes on a newly paved ashfalt road along side the airplane hangers. Eventually you find the chiseled wooden sign inviting you in. A beautiful and pleasant board walk for about 15 minutes which loops back. No restrooms or water fountains. Well maintained walk with lots of birds singing and flying above you.

The Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge is a hidden harbor gem. Accessed by way of Bowerman Field…read more(a small airport in Hoquiam), look for the information kiosk at the end of the airport road. There is limited parking available. From there, follow the paved road past the row of hangers until you come to the sign for Sandpiper Trail. From this point, you will be on an elevated boardwalk trail. You will pass through and be able to view multiple habitats along the way: Estuaries, open salt water, saltmarsh and mudflats. Take caution during the Fall and Winter due to slippery conditions when wet leaves cover the boardwalk! This is a "rest stop" for thousands of migratory birds. Some traveling from as far south as Argentina and some traveling as far north as the Artic. There are four major staging areas for shorebirds in North America and this is one of them. While you'll find the greatest concentration of migratory birds during the Spring, the refuge is worth visiting year round. The trail is surrounded by mostly Alder, Cottonwood & Willows and the dense thickets provide ample refuge for the birds. This is a great trail for all ages and capabilities with several places to stop, rest on benches & take in the beauty of the refuge.

This driving "school" doesn't have a classroom or any desks. It's in a small room in a house that…read moreused to be a veterinarian and it still stinks like animals. The first two classes were cut short, so 1 1/2 hours of instruction instead of the 4 we paid for. There isn't enough room for all the students so you will be forced to take the class on Zoom which we know from the pandemic isn't an effective way to teach anything. When I complained and pointed out the 30 hour DOL requirement, they treated me like rudely and said they would send a refund instead of addressing the problem. This isn't just a bad driving school, it's the worst business I've ever dealt with on the harbor. I'm a busy person but I'm taking the time to file a complaint with the DOL because they were that bad.

When driving onto to property- it looks abandoned and you ask "am I in the right place?" There is a sign saying you are with vague directions of where to go. After driving in, it looked like an abandoned junk yard with an overall creepy and unkept vibe. We drove out right away, I was surprised there was a recommendation to go here online.

We had an amazing time on the Lady Washington during a battle sail from Jack London Square in…read moreOakland yesterday. My son (4 yrs) is obsessed with pirates and when I learned about the tall ships coming to our area I figured he might enjoy it. We were originally scheduled to do a sunset sail from San Francisco, but was called and emailed the week before to either book the battle sail from Oakland instead (same day and time, at no additional cost) or rebook for Sunday from SF. We chose the battle sail since it was more convenient for us anyways. The sail itself was really fun and my son had a blast. The crew was incredibly helpful and kind to him, answering his questions and letting him help with things like coiling rope and raising the sails. They had some great stories and explained some of what they did. Thank you to the crew for being so awesome!!

10/10 - GO SURF WITH THESE GUYS NOW!…read more Our 7 year old dreams of being a big wave surfer so we took a family trip to Westport and signed up for lessons with BigFoot Surf. All 3 of us loved it so much, we've been back for lessons several more times. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable, safety oriented and incredibly fun to spend time with. Coaches are clearly skilled and can help anyone at all levels from beginners to advanced. Our family is hooked and counting down to next season.

I just finished my second time with them and it was awesome. It's always 1:1 training making it curated towards your style and needs. Also their gear is awesome and professional, not the usual basic boards. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to catch some waves in Washington!

The students answering the phone contradicted each other and when I came in for my appointment they…read morerefused to do what I had scheduled to have done. When the "instructor" was finally pulled away from scrolling on her phone, instead of using the situation as a learning/ teaching opportunity she got an attitude. I was told that "different people do things differently" and "we can't help what people promise over the phone"!?! Okay, then what is the point of it being a teaching academy?!? PLUS, I ended up with a scalp infection bc they didn't use my brush/comb like they had agreed to. They used a random one that was pulled out of a drawer and scrubbed the one spot very hard before I could stop her and that's exactly where it became infected. AND they absolutely butchered my haircut... it took 2 years for it to grow back out to where it was supposed to be cut at (& that's WITHOUT any trims bc now I'm afraid to let anyone else touch it).
