Charlotte, Josie and our friend, Fiona (1st Sp) are pictured here on
the ferry to Jetty Island, just off the Port of Everett.
We went over on the ferry today to Jetty Island with our younger siblings and our moms. It's super fun and the beaches are really beautiful. There are no buildings, no electricity and no plumbing on the island (just a bathroom by the dock). We want to come back every week!
Jetty island is a man-made island composed of river sediment. The Port of Evertt gained ownership of Jetty Island in 1929 and, with the help of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, built a new marsh of dredged river materials in 1889.
Juvenile salmon, waterfowl and bald eagles are just a few examples of the wildlife currently living on Jetty Island.
I did not know there is such a wonderful and pristine habitat nearby. It must be a very calming place. Is camping overnight allowed on the island? Did you spot any bald eagles?
