QUICK SAND ALERT
Posted on May 29th, 2021
PLEASE be advised that quick sand spots are a concern with the low tides that invite you explore the tide pools further out from the beach. We already have reports of sinking up to your knees. These areas are especially dangerous for the kids and dogs who like to chase the waves. A dog whose rump sinks past your knee depth will have to be rescued! Those large older dogs with bad hips are extremely vulnerable to injury.
Vessels in Holmes Harbor
Posted on May 10th, 2021
Letter from the Port Captain, US Coast Guard Director for Puget Sound Per the US Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Center Located at Pier 36, Seattle – up to 4 vessels can be “parked” in Holmes Bay awaiting docking space, primarily at Seattle piers. (Up to 6 according to federal regs) “This time of year can be especially busy and often causes backups”, according to the Public Affairs Officer. He further stated that the storm and the global pandemic may have added to the slow down at the docks for unloading, but it seems to be more just the time of year when arrivals of container ships come in regularly. As the docking space opens up, the vessels will move out.

NEIGHBORLY DOGS
It is unlawful for dogs to leave the property of their owners without being on leash. Or for them to chase "game" animals, such as deer, rabbits, birds. It goes without saying that dogs should not be chasing our neighborhood cats. Barking dogs which annoy 3 or more separate households are also in violation of the County statute. The penalty to an owner for such incidents can include pound fees and other fines. In the case of roaming animals, it might also result in your dog's loss of life if law enforcement deems the animal dangerous. (See our Community Standards section for more detail.) Please do the neighborly thing and keep your pet under your control at all times.
ALSO - neighborly dogs have owners who clean up after them on walks :) Please bring a poop bag along with you so that all of us can continue to enjoy walking our lovely community. Thanks, in advance!
