June 18 Great Park, but needs upkeeping though! by TP1275

My family and I LOVE this park, however, the bathrooms are never clean and are always horribly kept. The bathrooms are almost always flooded by overflowing toilets and sinks. The smell is horrible. However, the beach itself is one of the most beautiful we have visited. I hope that they will be able to get the issues with the bathrooms resolved soon. My last visit was last week 6/12/13 and they were still in horrible condition. Also they have a great cafe available to purchase food and snacks after searching the beach and after the kids work up an appetite!

For years I?ve wondered about Saltwater State Park in Des Moines, WA. I mean I like parks and one with saltwater just has to be good, right? And yet I only seemed to think about it as I drove by on I-5 on my way to or from somewhere with no time to stop. Well, today after dropping my dad at the airport, I finally went! It is lovely. There is plenty of Puget Sound shoreline (1,445 feet) with rocks to turn over and look for sea life, a stream that goes into the sound, some wooded trail areas, picnic tables, restrooms and a seasonal concession stand. I visited with a woman who was getting ready to scuba dive and she told me about seeing octopus and seals. There is an underwater artificial reef for scuba divers. My only caution would be to wear sneakers or other thick soled shoes because the beach area is covered with barnacles and broken shells. http://blog.firsttries.com/?p=2970

September 6 Gods country a rare and wonderful experi by Exceptionally happy

It is a view and experience you can not find any where else in the world. The Puget Sound is a master piece. This is a very rare experience it must never go to anyone else and always remain open.
