Highly recommend Dash point state park during low tide. We have found an octopus and so many sand dollars. Though this isn’t really a “rocky” place.

One of our favorite rocky places to explore tide pools is deception pass state park -bowman Bay Area.

As well as what someone mentioned above Salt creek recreation at low tide.

Edit to add- Teddy bear cove in Bellingham as well, absolutely love that peaceful place. Though small, it’s so much fun to explore and have a picnic.

This makes no sense. You hate compelled speech?

Are you against courts? Courts can subpoena people to share what they know. Except clergy currently under the current law.

Requiring people to report crimes is perfectly reasonable. If you subscribe to some kind of ideology that says it’s not, then you are completely disconnected from evidence based policy.

Also, doctors and teachers and therapists already are mandatory reporters with the same standards.

This isn’t remotely unreasonable or a high burden.

Also, Texas and West Virginia and there other states already make clergy mandatory reporters with no exceptions and it has worked out perfectly fine. Literally the only argument I’ve heard against this is slippery slope nonsense that hasn’t played out anywhere it’s been implemented.

This is a no brainer. Every politician who opposes it should be figuratively beaten over the head as a pedophile protector when they run for re election. Jim Walsh’s rant against this bill should literally be played straight as an attack ad by whoever runs against him.
