    Definitely not from WA. Almost no one is, anymore. My local Fred Meyer is like an int'l airport.

    What a shame. I wish more people would pay heed to the warning signs they ignore as they go about getting on with their day. Too many tragic consequences. Condolences to his loved ones.

    Trails to the snow lines in our area will close at the first snow or on the day that an entitled person goes off trail and dies.

    A girl I knew took her life by jumping off that cliff back in 1970.

    A friend of mine died here a few years ago and I hear its a dangerous area to be in. My buddy slipped off the cliff. R.I.P.

    I’m sorry, but the guy was an idiot. You can see the tide coming in with each wave. Unless he was blind, he waited until he had a few feet of beach left and the trail out is gone? Wife left? Maybe they had an argument and he just stewed on the beach.
