Lower Chimacum Creek at low tide
There is only one stream on the upper Quimper Peninsula that runs year round, Chimacum Creek. It is used by chum salmon for spawning and has seen quite a bit of habitat restoration. Here it flows through a tidal flat where it meets Port Townsend Bay in Irondale.
This area used to be a storage dump for logging operations. Now it is a county park.

Being a lover of Quimper in France, I can only love this view, not unlike some small creeks near Quimper, on the Atlantic.
