What's summer without pie? Do you love pie? What could make a pie taste sweeter, than knowing that your pie purchase is also supporting your local Friends of Skagit Beaches nonprofit group? Friends is the featured nonprofit at S & W Pies, located at 20977 Hwy 20 [(360)707-1952], who sell tasty pies at amazing prices ~$5. S&W will donate a portion of pie proceeds for the whole month of July to Friends. So let your sweet tooth take over, it's for a good cause!

There's a lot going on out there on the beach with citizen science projects we support, including intertidal monitoring in Fidalgo Bay, Bowman Bay and March Point, ongoing forage fish spawning surveys. Of course we're busy planning and getting ready for upcoming events including Fidalgo Bay Day on August 12th, which includes the Friends Discovery Passport activity and getting ready for opening registration for the Fidalgo Shoreline Academy on October 21st.  We hope we'll see you at both events.
