Edmonds Underwater Park




This beach is on Puget Sound, so we are getting some salt water action here. We spent the morning with the Hayatsus at a beach in the nearby town of Edmonds. Here you see Ilene and Kaemon getting acquainted with water which is most likely around 50F. The sand is a lot of fun for digging, but you can easily grasp the reason for Seattle's temperate climate. Note the passenger ferry in the background and if you look carefully you can see divers. This particular area is an underwater park and there are sunken boats and all sorts of things out there for divers to explore. It was a beautiful day and I got a sunburned knee. Just one.
Speaking of sunburn, Jackie was quick to notice that there are a lot of very pale people in Edmonds as the Scandinavian influence is still strong. Everywhere you looked, there were people in the sun who really shouldn't be. A lot of very white skin with alarmingly red patches- tanning was simply not happening. Jackie felt right at home.
