WTF is Lewis County Sheriffs office trying to pull? Seems like they’re trying to protect the 20yo Asbach. That needs to be investigated further just as much as the wrongful death. May have just been negligence to start but the sheriff’s office has made it a conspiracy/obstruction of justice and whole lot more.

The county sheriff is horrible. He’s a corrupt, racist, anti-vaxxer. Vote him out!

See, and I thought you meant lion's mane the fungus, and thought you didn't know much about fungus.

So anyways I'm an idiot. :)

Thank you!

I've only been there when it was not allowed for people to go down there. I'd really love to snag some photos like this, but not enough to disrespect the trail markers.

It can't stay closed forever though.... can it?

Unfortunately many cops are like many politicians. It takes a certain "type" to even want the job. The worst type.

Yup it’s a Lion’s Mane jellyfish. I had to Google it the first time I saw one washed up on the shore on Whidbey Island.

That got me too, I was like, oh no, if someone shot me in the woods would my weed habit let them get away with it?

Gig Harbor?

Haha, I thought you were making something up. Never heard of those and was scared to Google but just did. Super neat. I’m very new to this region of the country and ocean life in general.

Lion's mane jellyfish

>The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata), also known as the giant jellyfish, arctic red jellyfish, or the hair jelly, is one of the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. It is common in the English Channel, Irish Sea, North Sea, and in western Scandinavian waters south to Kattegat and Øresund. It may also drift into the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea (where it cannot breed due to the low salinity).

Sure looks like it.

Same here!! Woke up with a bunch more haha. Hope you enjoy it and stay safe out there :)

I think it was a jellyfish. Maybe Thetys vagina. (Probably not, but it wanted to say that) some kind of salp though.. unless I'm wrong

The OP significantly updated their post. Originally there were no details of any kind, and started with "Title says it all..."

Thank you! That looks a lot like what I remember seeing. I might have mixed up that area with the signs after seeing them at a different point on the same drive. It's really an incredible-looking area.

Sounds like a small town corrupt Sheriff’s Department protecting a local.

Wild that the Sheriff's department would actually try to push 'maybe he died from the weed he had on him' when he had been shot in the chest.

> And based on video footage and true crime documentaries

Please do not confuse "true crime" docs with real life. They are entertainment.

Thanks, good take on it.

Yes, especially if he fell wound angled down.

And just like that, we woke up to snow! ❤️🥶

The Herb Garden is quite lovely.

A lot of chambers and visitor's bureaus have databases of possible locations in their area, and work with directors to try to find locations. I know the Kittitas County chamber does this.
