From the Early Precambrian, this non-cellular entity was actually quite different from LUCA, in that while the latter had cells and enzymes and other biology that makes it more akin to a living organism, FUCA is just a glob of aimless amino acids.

Hello to you listening on Orcas Island, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.I volunteer as a story docent at Admiralty Head Lighthouse. Sailing in from the Pacific Ocean through the treacherous Strait of San Juan de Fuca ship captains would look for the blazing lighthouse beacon 127 feet above Admiralty Inlet warning them to steer a hard right to starboard, avoid the cliffs, and continue safely south to Puget Sound and on into Seattle, Washington. How did the captain know he was seeing Admiralty Head Lighthouse? Each lighthouse - no matter where in the world - has its very own distinctive light pattern, or signature. Like your fingerprints. Lighthouses mark points of navigation, warn about dangerous coastlines, and guide boats into safe harbor.But no one harbor serves all boats. Different boats - different harbors. Lighthouses don't chase boats; why do you chase clients?Ask yourself: What is it only you have to offer? Who needs it and wants it? How will you attract your particular client with your own distinctive beacon of light? And, how will they know you are signaling them? Once you have your answers, you will be well on your way to business success.  Guaranteed!CTA:  If you're looking for someone to help navigate you and your message, contact me on LinkedIn or Quarter Moon Story Arts for a no-sales, complimentary consult.  You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time! Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out Services I Offer,✓ For a no-obligation conversation about your communication challenges, get in touch with me today✓ Stay current with Diane on LinkedIn, as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack, and now on Pandora Radio! Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present: for credit & attribution Quarter Moon Story Arts

In the late 1870's, non-Indian settlers of Forks Prairie came by way of rivers and trails from the Pacific and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, as the overland route from the east was nearly impenetrable forest.  Trails were the main means of travel for early settlers along the coast and in the interior Olympic Peninsula.  The life of a settler was tedious.  "Proving up" on their homestead claims was a primary goal since improvements were required within a specified number of years.  Hunting and fishing were often pursued in fall and winter months to supplement the homesteaders' gardens and livestock.  Hay, oats, grain, fruit and vegetables grew well on the prairie.  The first dairy cows were brought in by schooner in 1870 via Neah Bay by Luther Ford.Though it was a center of commerce, growth came slowly to Forks.  A post office was established in 1884.  A newspaper was started in 1890, and the town was laid out in 1912 on a homestead - remaining barely a block of buildings into the 1920s.  Electricity came in 1923, and the first bank in 1930.  And, the town did not incorporate until August 7, 1945.Before 1900, timber in the West End was mostly cleared by settlers and small-time loggers using ox teams.  Companies logged at Clallam Bay and Port Crescent on the strait in the 1870s.  Timber baron Michael Earles, later developer of the first Soleduck hot springs resort, set up booming logging camps at the turn of the century at Crescent Bay and went along the strait - and many settlers from Forks worked in these camps.  Merrill & Ring would begin to log in the Pysht River drainage northwest of Forks in 1916.  World War 1 and its urgent demand for airplane spruce brought the West End into focus for its stands of Sitka spruce among the largest in the Hoko River drainage north of Forks.  In 1918 the U.S. Army built 36 miles of railroad track from Port Angeles west to Lake Pleasant.  This staged large-scale logging in the West End.  Disasters proved an unlikely road to Forks' boom years in the 1970s, when the town earned its reputation as "Logging Capital of the World" - through the '21 Blow, the Great Forks Fire in 1951 and the Columbus Day Storm of 1962.  In the 1970's you could "make a couple of calls and have a good job" in the woods.  The town's population doubled to over 3,000 that decade from a remote collection of farming homesteads into a booming timber town.Our museum offers a look into the rich history of homesteading, farming and logging in the Pacific Northwest, presented in a log cabin structure built by talented local volunteers and the High School Carpentry Class of 1989.  Come share this rich history with us and help to preserve the memory of those who have gone before us. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loren-alberts/message

Indigenous Environmental StewardshipDescription:The Indigenous peoples of what's now known as Western Canada had a relationship of reciprocity with the land. But when explorers from Europe arrived eager to tame the land and absorb its vast natural resources these two world views came to a head. And caught in between an iconic species of the Pacific Northwest—the Gary Oak—has become threatened. So how can we reconcile the harmful assumptions of the past that overlooked other ways of managing ecosystems?Dr. Kaylee Byers and Co-Host Dr. Lyana Patrick, look to the forests, rivers, and oceans of Turtle Island to uncover the various food systems and traditional stewardship practices that existed before colonization. Ethnobotonist, John Bradley Williams shares the traditional use of Garry Oaks and how they became systematically destroyed. Dr. Tabitha Robin from the University of British Columbia shares her experience working with and studying Indigenous Food Sovereignty. Lastly, Canadian Anthropologist and National Geographic explorer Dr. Wade Davis, through insights from his career visiting communities around the world shares how we can dismantle the prevailing biases that continue to threaten the health of our planet.—Highlights:(3:53 - 8:55) An icon on the brink, J.B.

The coastal passenger liner SS Valencia ran aground on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island on the 22nd of January, 1906, as it was traveling from San Francisco to Seattle with a total of 108 passengers and 65 crew members on board. The ship had just passed the entry to the Strait of Juan de Fuca when it encountered poor weather and was unable to continue its journey. The ship was stranded on a reef, hemmed in by towering cliffs of rock on both sides and crashing waves. It was impossible for rescue vessels to approach from the ocean because of the uncharted cliffs and the violent winds. When the passengers' lifeboats became disabled or capsized in the waves, a large number of people were lost at sea. In the following thirty-six hours, scared people huddled together on the storm deck or clung to the rigging as the ship was gradually dismantled by the enormous waves. The ordeal was finally over when, as the rescuers watched, shocked and helpless, a massive wave swept the remaining passengers and crew members into the water. In what is considered to be one of the most devastating maritime tragedies in the history of the Pacific Northwest, there were a total of 136 victims and 37 survivors.Listen now to learn more about this tragic maritime incident in the first of four "spooky" themed episodes running all October!A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastFind the podcast over on Instagram as well: @HISTORY_EVERGREENSTATEPODCASTYou can also find the podcast over on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@historyoftheevergreenstatepodThank you for listening to another episode of the History of the Evergreen State Podcast!

Dans ce cas, c'est la plaque Juan de Fuca qui s'insère sous la plaque nord-américaine.Or, cette faille de Cascadia, qui fait partie de la «ceinture de feu », cet alignement de volcans entourant l'océan Pacifique, est une zone sismique très dangereuse. C'est là que s'est produit, au début du XVIIIe siècle, l'un des tremblements de terre les plus puissants qu'on ait jamais recensés.Or, cette faille pourrait voir naître de nouveaux séismes meurtriers, d'une magnitude supérieure à 9, accompagnés de vagues géantes et de tsunamis.La crainte d'une nouvelle catastrophe est bien sûr présente à tous les esprits. Malgré les avancées de la sismologie, il n'est cependant pas facile de prévoir, avec un certain degré de précision, la survenue d'un tel phénomène.Et c'est dans ce contexte que la découverte de ces fluides sous-marins pourrait représenter un signe avant-coureur. Par la pression qu'ils exercent, ces fluides, présents entre deux plaques, serviraient en quelque sorte de lubrifiants, évitant ou réduisant les contacts trop rudes entre elles.Dans une telle logique, la fuite de ces fluides ne serait pas une très bonne nouvelle. Elle témoignerait d'une chute de pression, qui pourrait favoriser les chocs entre les plaques, et donc d'éventuels séismes.C'est la première fois que ces fluides sont repérés dans une zone de subduction. Mais on les trouve assez souvent dans d'autres endroits, comme les zones volcaniques ou les dorsales océaniques, qui forment des reliefs sous-marins Hébergé par Acast.

A fog signal was established at Slip Point in 1905. A lantern was hung on the fog signal building to provide a navigational light until another appropriation paid for the addition of a lighthouse tower in 1916.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) have not found any European Green Crabs in Manson's lagoon and so far there've been no sightings north of Nanaimo. “We haven't found any, that's really good news, but we've been very pleased to partner with DFO. Hopefully, if we ever find them, we'll be able to track them out and stop them from harming the valuable habitat here.” 34 explained Helen Hall, executive director of FOCI. “We got contacted by the Department of Fisheries and Ocean last year. They wanted to come onto the island as part of a project they're doing with a lot of communities up and down the coast, to try and find out whether green crabs are spreading in this area. We set traps in Manson's Lagoon twice last year, and very luckily we didn't find any.” “This year DFO came back and said this is a project they want to keep doing. They bring all the traps over, we trapped last month and we didn't find any.” “It's a brilliant learning exercise for our summer student, 58 Manuel Perdisa and we have two volunteers, Penny and Claude, who have helped us on other projects.” “This week the three of them went out with Patty Menning from DFO. They're setting two types of traps, a large prawn trap and smaller minnow traps. 12 traps were set in Manson's Lagoon on one day and the next day we go back . They get the traps out of the water, empty them into a plastic container which has water in them. We found lots and lots of graceful crabs. We're actually measuring those crabs as a recording exercise, but we also found some other interesting species, then we release everything back into the lagoon. We keep all those records and the data's going back to DFO.. “We haven't found any, that's really good news, but we've been very pleased to partner with DFO. Hopefully, if we ever find them, we'll be able to track them out and stop them from harming the valuable habitat here. According to Renny Talbot,  Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator for Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), there have not been any sightings north of Nanaimo in the Salish Sea area. CC: Where are you looking for European Green Crabs in my broadcast area? Renny Talbot: “We're looking on Cortes Island and Quadra Island, as well as the Fanny Bay area and Comox. We've set up with local stewardship groups and with our First Nations partners, early detection monitoring programs in those locations.” CC: Who is your partner on Quadra? Renny Talbot: “We have a representative, Patty Menning, who's working with the We Wai Kai First Nation.” CC: What about Campbell River? Renny Talbot: “We don't have a site in Campbell River right now. We have done opportunistic trapping in that location, but we didn't have a really good site to set up long term monitoring.” “Our early detection monitoring program: it's once a month and it runs from from April to to October. They do a 24 hour soak. We're looking for European Green Crab, but it's also creating a baseline of those intertidal crab, fish and things like that we're catching. So that if if there is an invasion, we can really understand the ecological impact that's occurring.” “We are lucky that there's some quasi barriers, with the Juan de Fuca as well as with the Johnson Strait, which have limited the the entry of European green Creb larva into the Salish Sea.” “The larvae need greater than 10 degrees Celsius to survive.”

On this episode of After the Breach podcast, hosts and professional guides, Jeff Friedman and Sara Shimazu, talk about a recent interesting encounter they had on May 20th with two brothers from the Bigg's killer whale population, T125A and T128. Also joining us is returning guest, Monika Wieland Shields from the Orca Behavior Institute (OBI) who was also out on the water and provides her own observations from that day. Starting out the episode the three talk about the latest sightings in the Salish Sea. It has been a busy spring and there has been a lot happening. We've had some of our more famous humpback whales return, tons of Bigg's killer whales sightings, and even J-pod returned just before the end of May! Monika shares some interesting insights courtesy of OBI. On May 20th, two killer whales were reported south of San Juan Island in the eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca. The two were quickly identified as T125A and T128. These boys belong to an interesting family of four, led by their mother T125. In 2015 the matriline was seen in the Salish Sea for the first time in 22 YEARS. They were around for a few days but then disappeared again. Since then these two brothers seem to have dispersed from their mom and have been making annual forays into the area where they've quickly become whale watching favorites. They usually travel fairly tight together but last month when they were seen they were traveling in the general vicinity of each other but separated over a mile from the other as they traveled north into Rosario Strait. Once there they came together briefly before separating again. T128 went into the inner San Juan Islands through Thatcher Pass while T125A continued up Rosario Strait. When Jeff and Monika caught up with T128 he was not really going anywhere and was circling on the west side of Blakely Island. What they did notice right away was that he had some pretty deep rake marks from another killer whale on his dorsal fin! Meanwhile T125A was continuing up Rosario Strait where Sara got on scene with him. He quickly turned and headed back down the strait in the direction he had come from and started vocalizing and pushing a lot of water as he came up to the surface, sometimes rolling and slapping his dorsal fin or tail lobbing. It really seemed like he was trying to be loud and obvious as to where he was. Jeff reported that T128 turned and actually went back out into Rosario Strait where he would have heard his brother and then quickly turned and went back into the inner islands. He was last seen heading west past Lopez Island ferry terminal and T125A was left still heading south in Rosario Strait. There's a lot of room for speculation and human interpretation into what happened here, if anything. Did the two brothers have an argument and needed some time apart? Was T125A the culprit to those rake marks on his brother? There are so many questions and we can only guess as to what may have happened. We had hoped they would show up the next day but they disappeared overnight and haven't been seen since. That is until a few days before we were going to post this episode; guess who showed up!? The brothers, reunited, and in the case of T128, all healed! Where were they the last three weeks? Did they reunite the night of the 20th or did they take some more time apart? We have an upcoming photography workshop in September! Details are available on our website www.afterthebreachpodcast.com or you can send us an email at afterthebreachpodcast@gmail.com.

Curious Cat's special CASCADIA series begins with the 1700 Cascadia Earthquake.It is the most epic natural disaster you've never heard of!The Cascade Mountain Range runs north into Canada and south through Washington, Oregon and into California. Sitting on the legendary Ring of Fire, this chain of 19 mountains was born in the belly of the Earth, a byproduct of the friction between the Juan de Fuca and CASCADIA plates. Three-hundred years ago the entire west coast of North America quaked. When the Juan de Fuca plate became unstuck, it slipped beneath the CASCADIA plate, and jarred an entire continent, devastating coastal communities, and forever etching itself into the oral histories of native peoples. Stories of a battle between good and evil, the thunderbird and the whale are still retold today. That was over three centuries ago, and we know the exact time it occurred.Let's go back a moment in our mental time machines. The year is 1700. You are a member of one of multiple indigenous tribes that reside in the mouthways of streams and rivers along the North American coastline. It is January and though the sun was filtered through clouds for most of the day, it's long since slipped below the horizon. The community fire is dying out. The young are rubbing their tired eyes and clinging to the laps and legs of their mamas. The community quietly tucks away, beneath warm layers to sleep. All is quiet. The scent of lingering woodsmoke, salty ocean spray and traces of the day blur into dreams. Then suddenly the land beneath shakes and rolls. While some remain asleep, the shaking infects their dreams, but others grow alert thanks to the rush of adrenaline. ______________________________________________SIGN UP FOR Karen Rontowski's Spiritual Protection Class HERE! - It is a sliding scale price and she asks that if you cannot afford even the lowest price, that you email her with the contact form and she'll give you access FREE.________________________________________________Episode Sources and Materials:https://hakaimagazine.com/features/great-quake-and-great-drowning/https://www.amazon.com/Orphan-Tsunami-1700-Japanese-Earthquake/dp/0295998083https://www.wired.com/story/the-long-lost-tale-of-an-18th-century-tsunami-as-told-by-trees/Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

Every component of the whale was used by the tribe for food, trade, and the creation of various necessities. It was guaranteed to Makah leaders that they may continue to fish and go whale hunting when they signed the Treaty of Neah Bay in 1855, the only treaty ever signed by the federal government to include that unique right.Listen now to learn more about the indigenous peoples that have inhabited the Olympic Peninsula since time immemorial!A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastThank you for listening!

El paso del noroeste, el viaje imposible

La ContraHistoria

El continente americano se extiende de polo a polo dificultando el paso de los navíos del océano Atlántico al océano Pacífico. Los españoles se encontraron con este último a principios del siglo XVI por dos puntos muy distantes. Cerca del ecuador Vasco Núñez de Balboa cruzó el istmo de Panamá en 1513 y se dio de bruces con una gran masa de agua a la que bautizó como mar del Sur porque él y sus hombres venían del mar Caribe, que habían dejado al norte. Ese descubrimiento demostraba que al otro lado de las Indias recién descubiertas había otro océano y que, ese sí, conducía directo a la especiería. Siete años más tarde, en 1520, la expedición comandada por Fernando de Magallanes y que había partido de Sevilla un año antes con intención de llegar a las islas de las especias navegando hacia el oeste, descubrió el paso meridional y accedió al Pacífico, pero estaba muy al sur, por debajo del paralelo 50. Tanto el istmo de Panamá, que se cruzaba a pie, como el estrecho cartografiado por Magallanes y que terminaría llevando su nombre, eran los dos únicos accesos al Pacífico navegando desde Europa o desde la costa atlántica de América. Uno no era un paso propiamente dicho ya que había que desembarcar y continuar por tierra, el otro estaba muy lejos de las principales rutas de navegación. Era necesario, por lo tanto, encontrar un paso en el norte que comunicase ambos océanos y que permitiese ir de las costas europeas a las del extremo oriente sorteando América en poco tiempo. Pero no era un camino fácil ya que entre medias se interponían los hielos del polo norte y una miríada de islas cuajadas de glaciares al norte de lo que hoy es Canadá. Las principales potencias europeas se afanaron en abrir esa ruta que fue bautizada como paso del noroeste. Durante tres siglos españoles, ingleses, franceses y escandinavos enviaron varias expediciones a las aguas circumpolares para ser los primeros en llegar y asegurarse así una lucrativa ruta comercial. Lo intentaron primero desde el Atlántico, luego, a partir del siglo XVIII, desde el Pacífico, pero el paso del noroeste era esquivo y cruzar de un océano a otro por el norte se demostró un desafío mucho más complejo que hacerlo por el sur. En el siglo XIX se unieron a la aventura los estadounidenses, para quienes encontrar ese paso era una prioridad de Estado ya que el país se había extendido de costa a costa obligando a los barcos que iban de San Francisco a Nueva York a dar un larguísimo rodeo por el estrecho de Magallanes. Pero todos fracasaron hasta principios del siglo XX cuando un explorador noruego, Roald Amundsen, lo consiguió navegando desde Oslo hasta Alaska en un barco de pequeño tamaño y adaptando la expedición a las condiciones polares. Como gesta aventurera era todo un logro, pero aquello no servía como ruta comercial viable. Para entonces el paso del noroeste había perdido ya su sentido. Poco después se inauguró el canal de Panamá permitiendo a grandes buques hacer el tránsito de océano a océano en unas pocas horas siguiendo el mismo camino que había realizado Núñez de Balboa cuatro siglos antes. Esta búsqueda incesante del paso del noroeste dejó para la posteridad grandes expediciones en dos océanos cuyos capitanes se encargaron de cartografiar con sumo detalle las costas de los gélidos y traicioneros mares del norte. Pues bien, hoy en La ContraHistoria vamos a ver esto mismo, el modo en el que durante cuatrocientos años miles de hombres se empeñaron en encontrar un paso donde simplemente no lo había.

Hello to you listening in Port Townsend, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.Admiralty Head Lighthouse harkens back to the day of sailing ships powered by wind. When the ships entered the Strait of San Juan de Fuca from the Pacific Ocean the ship captain would know to steer a hard right to starboard when he saw the blazing beacon from the Lighthouse high on a bluff 127 feet above Admiralty Inlet before continuing safely south to Puget Sound and on into Seattle. Each lighthouse - no matter where in the world - has its very own distinctive light pattern, or signature. Lighthouses mark points of navigation, warn about dangerous coastlines, and guide ships into a safe harbor.But not all harbors are created equal for all boats. Some are for deep draft vessels, others for pleasure craft, and so on. Here's the thing about a lighthouse: it doesn't run up and down the coast beckoning all boats to its harbor. It serves a specifically sized boat.Question: Lighthouses don't chase boats; why do you chase clients? What is it only you have to offer? Who needs it  and wants it? How will you attract your particular client with your very own distinctive beacon of light? And, how will they know you are signaling them?Call to Action: If this episode resonates with you and you're looking for someone to help navigate you and your message, contact me on LinkedIn or Quarter Moon Story Arts for a consult.  You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Season Two kicks off with a mystery that's been speculated about across the globe for a handful of years, and has been allegedly solved by a doctor on TikTok. There's a dedicated Wikipedia page, compelling Vox article, whose phenomenon is helping to solve a strange case in Australia, and begins a stone's throw away from my corner of Washington state.I've been compelled to track this mystery since the first foot washed up on the shores of a Canadian island fifteen years ago. Recently, though, when a doctor professed to solve the mystery once and for all on TikTok, I still scratched my head. Even today, when I googled the Salish Feet Mystery, my stomach hurt thinking of the people, maybe as many as 21 as of this recording, who passed away and part of them washed up on the coastlines of Washington state and British Columbia. These are real people that lived and died, and in all other tellings of it, that's been missed. That's why I felt I needed to tell their story. There's a cluster of picture-perfect islands just a hair west of Washington state, the shape of breadfruit. One glance at the map and your brain fits the chain of islands into the greater land mass like a missing puzzle piece. Known as the Gulf Islands, they broke apart and drifted into what is now the Salish Sea, the Strait of Georgia and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  The islands are lush with old growth evergreens, wildflowers, high cliffs, sandy bluffs, inlets, and wide-open meadows. They hold secrets, too; abandoned homesteads, forgotten campgrounds, even the remnants of one long-forgotten cult whose leader died with the knowledge of where he'd buried gold coins buried in Mason jars. That cult leader is Brother XII and the place that may still hide the treasure is Valdes Island...Links to Curious Cat on Socials and Show Creators:Art Director – Nora HotesLink to audio engineer—Aidan ConnersCurious Cat on TwitterCurious Cat on InstagramHost, Jennifer Hotes, on TwitterSources and Materials:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salish_Sea_human_foot_discoverieshttps://coolinterestingstuff.com/the-strange-salish-sea-foot-mysteryhttps://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/human-foot-found-in-shoe-on-vancouver-island-beach/(article after 13th foot found) https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/12/18/16777724/human-feet-beach-pacific-northwest-seattle-vancouverhttps://www.insider.com/british-columbia-find-severed-human-feet-on-shores-2019-2 https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/569067-doctor-explains-why-21-human-feet-in-sneakers-may-have-washed-on/https://www.iflscience.com/the-mystery-of-why-human-feet-keep-washing-ashore-in-the-us-and-canada-has-been-solved-59513

Hello, Victoria Transported by ferry across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Angeles, we arrived to Inner Harbor within 90 minutes. While waiting in line at Customs, I called my sister, Deborah, who reminded me of her honeymoon road trip from San Diego to Victoria with film star, David Miller in 1975. "Pardon me if it slipped my mind, but you do realize that was almost fifty years ago," I said. Then, I asked her what we should do in Victoria. "Ride the ferries to the islands," she suggested. Then, all pumped up for the usual Canada wave through, we donned our masks as instructed and pulled up to the inspection kiosk.

This lighthouse, built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1903 and located in Fort Casey State Park near Coupeville on beautiful Whidbey Island, is one of the most visited attractions in the Evergreen state. Located high on a cliff 127 feet above sea level, the beacon served as a vital nautical guide for ships entering Admiralty Inlet from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The beacon was decommissioned in 1996. It took the place of the Red Bluff Lighthouse, a wooden structure in the Cape Cod style that was completed in 1861. Listen now to learn more!A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastThank you for listening!

As Mask Mandates Drop, COVID Cases Increase In Some Parts Of World Later this month, Hawai'i will become the 50th and final state in the U.S. to drop its indoor mask mandate, as those and other COVID-19 protections tumble down nationwide and in places like the United Kingdom and Austria. But as the winter omicron surge eases in some places, an omicron subvariant called Ba.2 is joining the viral mix. And the pandemic is far from over elsewhere. Science journalist Roxanne Khamsi reports on rising case counts in Hong Kong—a country with previously low numbers. A year ago, it reported only 17 total cases per day, but recorded more than 56,000 this past week. Plus, why war in Ukraine may threaten the effort to eliminate polio globally, the death of the recipient of a genetically modified pig heart, and other science stories.   U.S., Russia, and Canada Continue Collaboration On Wild Salmon Survey Tensions continue to simmer between Moscow and Washington in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In many respects, the divide between East and West is deepening: Oil companies are canceling partnerships with Russian firms. State legislators are calling for the state's sovereign wealth fund to dump Russian investments. President Joe Biden announced Tuesday the U.S. would close its airspace to Russian aircraft. But the United States and Russia are continuing to work together on at least one issue: salmon. There's a map scattered with orange, green, blue and red dots spanning most of the North Pacific above 46 degrees latitude. On the map are three flags of Arctic nations: the U.S., Canada and the Russian Federation. “This interaction between the countries in this is really something that has never happened to this scale before,” said Mark Saunders, the executive director of the five-country North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission. He's talking about the 2022 Pan-Pacific Winter High Seas Expedition. Vessels from both sides of the Pacific are braving gale-force winds and 13-foot seas as they crisscross the ocean from the edge of the Aleutian Chain to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. All in the name of research on challenges to wild salmon runs that are important to people on all sides of the north Pacific Rim. Read the rest on sciencefriday.com.   While Long COVID Treatments Improve, Big Questions Remain Over the two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, one topic has been on many people's minds: long COVID. Some people with COVID-19 have symptoms that last for weeks, months, and sometimes even years after their initial infection. Long COVID affects people in different ways. Some report debilitating fatigue or a persistent brain fog that makes it hard to concentrate. And for many long haulers, their ability to exercise and or perform simple daily tasks remains severely limited. There's still a lot that we don't understand about the underlying causes of these symptoms. No one knows why some people develop long COVID, while others don't. But over the last two years, researchers have slowly accumulated more knowledge about the drivers of long COVID, and how to best treat it. Ira speaks with two people intimately familiar with long COVID: Dr. David Putrino, director of rehabilitation innovation at Mount Sinai Health System in New York, New York, and Hannah Davis, co-founder of the Patient-Led Research Collaborative based in Brooklyn, New York.

Catch Me Outside

Vancouver Island, off the coast of British Columbia, is criss-crossed with hiking trails. One, in particular, draws thousands of Canadian and international hikers each year: The West Coast Trail. The West Coast Trail is a 75 km-long coastal hike that follows some of the ancient paths and paddling routes used for trade and travel by Indigenous peoples for millennia. It's located on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island, on the traditional territories of the Huu-ay-aht, Ditidaht, and Pacheedaht First Nations, and takes hikers over beaches, through temperate rainforests, rivers and deep mud and up and down more than 100 ladders. It's very popular, and sites need to be reserved in advance. Also, because so much of it involves beach walking, hikers need to carry tide charts to plan their timing each day. They're rewarded with views of the ocean though. Just south of this iconic trail is a lesser known but probably equally awesome multi-day hiking called the Juan de Fuca Trail. Like the west coast trial, it follows the coast of the island and involves beach walking, hiking through mud and planning around the tides. It's shorter, at 47 kilometres, less busy and sites are mostly available on a first-come, first served basis. Laura and Kyle are a couple I met last year while hiking B.C.'s Sunshine Coast Trail. We met in town during a resupply and leap-frogged each other for the rest of the hike, often camping in the same spots. They explained to me that, a few years earlier, they'd attempted back-to-back hikes of the West Coast Trail and the Juan de Fuca. On this episode of Catch Me Outside, they share their experience, including the moment they helped rescue a hiker from a potentially deadly situation.  This episode covers:  • What to expect on the West Coast and Juan de Fuca trails  • How to hike them back-to-back • The trick to rehydrating dehydrated eggs so they aren't disgusting • The sketchy moment on the West Coast Trail Laura and Kyle would have loved a personal locator beacon for, and more.

We cope with climate variability whether we acknowledge it or not in a variety of ways. On this episode, Brenda Clifton and I discuss the intentional ways practitioners are adjusting for climate change in restoration practice. This was a recording of a session I took part in at the January 19th virtual North Sound Riparian Conference. This event was hosted by the good people at the Skagit Watershed Council, Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group, and Skagit River System Cooperative. When I say Sound that means Puget Sound or the southern estuary of the Salish Sea, connected to the wider Pacific Ocean via the Strait of Georgia and Strait Juan de Fuca. Most the folks attending the conference were in the North Sound. Brenda Clifton is a plant ecologist with over 20 years of experience in plant biology and propagation. Ms. Clifton has a bachelor's degree in Botany and her master's thesis is in plant physiology. She is a certified Professional Wetland Scientist with the Society of Wetland Scientists. She has worked for the Skagit River System Cooperative for over 10 years. The Cooperative provides natural resource management services for the Sauk-Suiattle (soc suyattle) Indian Tribe and the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. Brenda manages the vegetation aspects of salmonid habitat restoration projects, including developing planting, vegetation management, maintenance and monitoring plans and running a nursery with over 15,000 plants. Lots of smart people were presenting and listening in on this conference.
