Creator's Key Takeaways

It is really nice and beautiful. This whole area is located in kind of a delta where the Nquali River flows into Puget Sound.

So, this is a joy to be able to come here and see this.

They've got this cool wooden boardwalk to travel on, which is really nice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have about 3 hours, do the one-mile boardwalk out through the estuary first to avoid being too beat by the heat.
