Kingston-North Kitsap


Since arriving in Seattle on Monday, we have all been very busy. Immediately after landing, we were greeted with some less than warm conditions (~50deg F), something we would need to get used too. From plane, to ferry, we arrived in Kingston and were met by our host families. It was great to be in comfortable surrounds, have a non plane food meal, shower and have a well earned rest.

Tuesday morning came around rather fast, and by lunchtime, we were off to Suquamish, the local Native American Tribe Headquarters. An informative afternoon was shared, learning of the tribe's history in the region, land management regimes - including forestry, and visiting some cultural and historic sites in the area.
In the evening, we attended at dinner at a local Rotarian's home, where we were welcomed by wonderful, friendly people and a great meal. The end of our first full day was now over, and we couldn't wait to get out into the forest for a Vocational day the following day.

  1. Hi Jane, Sorry we couldn't organise that Moose repellent in time for your trip. Looking forward to more photos and stories- could you please stand next to something more scenic next time. C'mon, make us jealous with the gorgeous scenery!
    From Sarah (Richmond is currently losing their first game and mark wonders if they did ANY skills practice over summer?)
