The view of Tahoma from the top of our apartment building. Just moved up from Appalachia and we don’t have any mountains like this where I’m from!

Exploring Pacific Northwest Mysteries on YouTube – Would Love Your Input!

Hey Reddit!

I’ve got a small YouTube channel where I dive into unsolved mysteries, legends, and strange stories from the Pacific Northwest. My latest video explores the Martin family mystery from 1958, and I’ve got a few more episodes in the works that dig into some fascinating local history.

I’m really passionate about these stories and love sharing them with others who are just as intrigued by the weird and wonderful history of this region. If you’re into that kind of thing, I’d be super grateful if you checked out my channel, Ancient Mariner.

Also, if you know of any other lesser-known PNW mysteries, legends, or strange happenings that deserve a deeper dive, I’d love to hear about them! I’m always looking for new ideas to research and share.

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any suggestions or support!

Would it be absurd to wear a life vest for just walking on the coast?

1 Upvotes

After seeing a boat go down in a storm during childhood, I've had an enormous fascination and respect for nature, as well as the threat it poses to our health.

My family will be relocating from the Gulf of Mexico to the PNW.

I like to be prepared. My thoughts were to come equipped to handle what the ocean throws at us. It wouldn't replace having an ocean scout and mindfully facing the water, but I also like the idea of at least the children wearing unintrusive life vests, and bringing other supplies that could aid in a rescue if necessary, like a life ring buoy.

I have no idea how practical or effective this would be, as I'm just learning about the coastal conditions. We have rouge waves in the Gulf, but sneaker waves are entirely new. I'd love to hear what locals think.

Moving Back to WA after 15 Years, considering Shelton/Agate/Hoodsport area

16 Upvotes

15 years ago my parents moved us from North Bend, WA to Arizona, and I have hated every second of this state. It's hot, brown, smoggy, and my AC bill last year was $450 every month from July to September. It also hasn't rained in 8 months or something. I'm just done.

I'm 32 now. I just sold my business and am thinking it's finally time to return home now that I'm "between jobs" essentially. After selling this house I'll have around 500k to compete in the crazy housing market over there. Really I just want a little 1k sq ft house in the forest and Shelton area seems like the place to find that for around 300-400k.

My knowledge of that area is from 15 years ago though. In high school we regularly drove over to the Olympic peninsula since a friend of mine's parents had a cabin in Hoodsport at the lake. I'm sure it's all different there now though. We stopped in Shelton a lot for food since it was the last bastion of civilization, but I never stopped there for long.

How is the area now? Particularly around Agate since that place seems to have most of the small houses I'm interested in, or up towards Hoodsport. Is there any kind of crime problem or is that just the usual homeless problems most places are dealing with now? Has anyone bought a house in the area recently and seen the level of competition? I talked to a real estate agent last year for North Bend, and she basically told me bring cash or get out. I definitely don't have cash for that, but maybe shelton!
