Unusual birds are visiting here now
August and September are the best months for seeing unusual avian visitors. If you keep your eyes out for them, you might spot something special. This is exactly what happened a few weeks ago in Port Townsend. Someone spotted a large gull-like bird that wasn’t a gull. It turned out to be a Red-footed Booby, a tropical ocean and coastal species that usually ventures no further north than Baja California. Since then, many birders have visited Port Townsend, repeatedly documenting this continuing visitor. You can see multiple photos and accounts of this bird at the Washington Rare Bird Alert.

Preview – Our House: an Evening in Three Acts
When Battleground Productions opens its new play on Thursday, September 5, it will be in a space that is unusual, even for a city with a wild variety of performance venues. Our House, written by award-winning playwright, novelist, theatre critic, and multi-tasking man of stage and page John Longenbaugh, is about the various and variously-related residents of a small house in southeast Olympia from 1934 until … just now. It was inspired, we are told, by Thornton Wilder’s treasured masterwork, Our Town. Wilder described his play as “an attempt to find a value above all price for the smallest events in our life, against the largest dimensions of time and place.” According to the press release, Our House “explores one tiny piece of this world in time and space … investigating history, love, death, and really good cocktails.” More about those cocktails later.
