Land's End [Explore]

A line of squalls along the Salish Sea obscures the view of the Olympics from Lime Kiln Point State Park on San Juan Island.

 

Though most people probably know this body of water as the Strait of Juan de Fuca - the inlet to Puget Sound, and the gateway to the Pacific from Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, and Bellingham - it is now considered to be part of a larger body of water more recently designated the Salish Sea.

 

Although this bluff is considered one of the best whale-watching spots on the planet, I saw none during my visit. Outside some marine shipping traffic and a few visitors to the lighthouse, it was a quiet, damp evening.

 

Congrats on Explore!
