It’s okay, and I’m sorry to hear that, I found him though kinda, he was at the Auburn humane society but was adopted a month ago sadly. I don’t think k can steal him because I’m pretty sure they won’t give me the address of the new owners. I appreciate your offer as well, that’s very kind of you.

I've never heard of this being a common strategy for avoiding car theft and can't really imagine it helping. Perhaps make sure you have comprehensive auto insurance coverage and buy a club or get an ignition disabling switch installed.

Grew up there (age 5 to 13):

  • Perch fishing/crabbing off the Westport docks,
  • Excellent YMCA and summer camp (Camp Bishop at Lost Lake).
  • Roller skating at the (Harborena) Roller Rink.
  • Biking to Junction City and back.
  • Warm water swimming at Lake Aberdeen.
  • Swimming/diving lessons at the Natatorium (Aberdeen Aquatic Center).
  • Salmon berry picking.
  • Easter egg hunting at Franklin (Sam Benn Memorial) Park.
  • Camping out/fishing on the Wynoochee River.
  • Grays Harbor County Fair (Elma).
  • Sat/Sun double-matinees at the D & R and Aberdeen Theaters - the D & R hosted music shows prior to 2020 and may again; the Aberdeen Theater was a church, last time I checked. The 7th Street Theatre in Hoquiam is still going.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Worked there for 2 months for a work trip last year and will NEVER go back in my life. Depressed town, feels like the end of the world, crack hears absolutely EVERYWHERE. Closest nice (ish) place is Olympia which is like 40 minutes away. Ocean Shores and Westport are absolute let downs with nothing to do other than feel like you’re literally on the end of the world. It looks like a small town but is as busy as downtown Seattle. Absolutely garbage 😂😂 Sorry- rant over 😂

I just spent 15 minutes looking at photos of boats, Huskies, and little kids with fish. No rattlers, but it was a pleasant diversion for this homesick gal!

Edit: I screwed up. I didn’t check out your profile — I thought you were the OP, so all the photos of fish etc. were from u/RippingLegos. Sorry about the confusion, u/ElTardoDente!

Terrible place. All of grays harbor county sucks and every time I go there I hate it and can't wait to get back to Pierce and Thurston. Then again, everybody from king county feels the same way about Thurston and Pierce county as I do about grays harbor

It's known to be a not so nice place. Probably one of the worst places in the state. There are lots of other awesome smaller towns in the state to choose from

I’m so sorry for this my friend. I’ve got a mini van and I’m just outside Portland. You ever need an accomplice to get your dog back, let me know.

Just before I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I had to essentially break into my fiancé’s mom’s apartment and get my fiancé’s cat. She wasn’t feeding his brother, and so he passed away the day we went to drive out to the Pacific Northwest five day 3000 mile long road trip we decided to grab my fiancé is remaining cat and just go with no plan.

By the time we were across state lines, the police couldn’t do anything, and technically it was still my fiancé’s cat. He lived for another six months or so, but he had a very happy and loving life and I’m very appreciative that we are able to do that, so that’s why I advocate for stealing your dog back. .
