Teachings of the Wilderness
Teachings of the Wilderness is Chuck Marunde’s latest book, a story about growing up in Alaska in a little cabin far from civilization.

Oil Rig in Port Angeles
We have an oil rig in Port Angeles, and it’s probably the largest rig we’ve ever had in the Port. The Polar Pioneer is an oil rig built in Malaysia on its way to the Chukchi Sea off the northern coast of Alaska. It is over 355 feet high, which means it towers over the

The Sequim Audubon Center

Sequim Dungeness River Nearly Flooding
The Sequim Dungeness River is as high as you’ll ever see it, higher than I’ve seen it in maybe 20 years. People asked if we have floods in the Sequim area, and we really don’t. The Sequim Dungeness is our main river, and when it gets high like this, it wears away some banks and

The Sequim New Year’s Resolution: Something Better
Who likes to make a New Year’s Resolution? No one. When we talk about a New Year’s Resolution, we usually do so with a negative tone, and most people can talk about how they have not kept their New Year’s Resolution from last year (and the year before ad infinitum). So what’s better than a
