Hello and welcome. I grew up seeing the Olympic mountains from Erland's Point on Dyes Inlet, a large bay just a few miles north of Bremerton, when the snow was all gone we knew we could go fishing in the mountain lakes. When I got into my mid 20's, I really hated the politics and went on the road for a short while, ending up at my mom and stepdads home just north and east of Denver, about the only thing I miss from living in Washington is the rivers, lakes and the salt water fishing. To me living in Seattle was like living in hell, our paradise is out here in the woods of S.W. Oregon.
The winters are nice even with the weather. I could live there the winter.
When my friends and I dug clams, it was according to certain months of the year, no clams in months with an R in them, this often coincided with Red Tides when all shell fish were not good to eat. Now days I watch cooking shows on PBS and they are eating raw fish and raw clams, if we had done that in our growing up days, we would have gotten very sick, that was in the 50's and 60's, my guess is that those bays and beaches are far less polluted than now, we knew that clams and oysters were cleaners of the water, if they weren't there the bays would be so polluted that you couldn't get near them for the stink.
