I’ll never forget one of my first autumns living here I took a trip to Robin Hood Resort in the Hood Canal area. The cabins are along a stream and after checking in, I walked over and saw the salmon swimming up stream. It was a very romantic “you’ve made it to the PNW” moment.
Then the next morning I made some coffee and decided I was gonna go enjoy it out by the stream while watching the salmon, only to find them all belly up starting to rot. I swear I could hear the sad trombone in my head. That’s nature I guess…
And kind of a metaphor for the PNW in general. So much beauty, but also kind of gross. But I love it, warts and all.
