Seattle Series: Chambers Creek Beach Front


Here is the old pier. It isn't safe to stand on anymore, but it keeps part of this beachs' history alive.


When you visit here I recommend that you walk along the beach. It is a nice place to walk with your significant other!


You can see the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from here! When I visit my parents I always have to cross that bridge. (Actually, there are 2 bridges now, but people still call it in the singular form, bridge)

The ocean around here is some what clear, of course when you get to the deeper areas you can't see very far. For you divers it might be a little cold. A dry or wet suit may help, but I doubt that you will be able to see much of interest. I haven't heard of any popular diving areas.


For those of you who are really bored walking along here you can throw pennies, you would need to be REALLY bored to do this.





A giant piece of drift wood, or would it still be called a tree if it is this big?


This piece of drift wood reminded me of clouds.

Seattle Series: Chambers Creek Beach

 As I mentioned in the previous post this is in the city of Tacoma. Tacoma is about 30- 45 minutes (by car) from Seattle. It is a popular area for people to get some exercise in the fresh air, to walk their dogs or to just enjoy the view!

 This bridge goes over some train tracks. If you wait long enough you can see a train pass under here.


 If you are into architecture or art you may want to visit this location. Of course, if you are just looking for a new place for a walk you are welcome here too!


 Walking around here was very refreshing!





 All along this beach you will find drift wood and other things that wash up from the ocean.


 A prime example of some visitors walking their dog. (Please be respectful and pick up after your dog! There are places to throw the bags away to help keep this area clean)


 Under the bridge you can see 2 people enjoying the beach. In the next post I will take you onto the beach!

Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima in Hiroshima, Japan

The deers are so used to people they feel safe enough to sleep close to people.

宮島のしかは人にすごくなれてて人のそばでねられます。

 The joys of the beach!

ビーチはたのし!
