Mid June has some of the lowest tides of the year in the daylight, exposing colorful intertidal animals and lush seaweed. This summer a small team of Beach Naturalists trained through the Skagit Marine Resources Committee will be providing informal interpretation of the beach life at Washington Park Sunset Beach (near the boat launch).  Besides helping visitors identify what they are finding under the rocks, Naturalists help make sense of how beach life survives in the intertidal zone and how people can help it to thrive.
