Thursday, April 18th, 2018, 6:00PM-7:30PM
Jefferson County Library, 620 Cedar Ave, Port Hadlock
**Mass migration, and the problems associated with it, have directly abetted the rise of populist parties in Europe. Opposition to immigration was the prime driver of support for Brexit, it brought a far-right party to the German Bundestag for the first time since the 1950s, and propelled Marine Le Pen to win a third of the vote in the French presidential election. In addition to calling for stronger borders, however, these parties are invariably illiberal, anti-American, anti-NATO and pro-Kremlin, making their rise a matter of serious concern for the national security interests of the United States. Great Decisions, produced by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), is America’s largest civic discussion program on world affairs. Lectures will run each Thursday through April 26. Each discussion will cover a topic of great importance to Americans, a short video will be shown, and discussion will be facilitated. Attend the entire series or one lecture; no previous registration is required, and seating is first-come, first-served.

Jefferson County Library, 620 Cedar Ave, Port Hadlock
**Though arguably the most advanced economy in the world, the United States still uses centuries-old numbers to measure trade. These antique numbers mangle understanding of the U.S.-China trade relationship, shrinking America’s true economic size and competitiveness, while swelling China’s. Bad numbers give rise to bad policies that ultimately kill U.S. jobs and cede market share to China. What other tools can the United States employ to counter China’s unfair trade practices? There are several available, yet they remain mostly unused. Great Decisions, produced by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), is America’s largest civic discussion program on world affairs.

Count Me In For Quilcene

Count Me In For Quilcene

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Schwartz Count Me in for Quilcene is a non-profit organization, the purpose of which is to generate and distribute funding for projects chosen by the Quilcene community at-large and implemented by volunteers. CMIQ is a non-political, non-governmental organization registered as a Washington State non-profit corporation and we are qualified as such under Section 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. At the Quilcene Conversations gathering at the Quilcene Community Center on February 19, 2011, four planning groups picked projects from a community-generated master list. Project coordinators were selected and each group was organized to complete its project(s) within one year. Although volunteer work was the most valuable resource, the volunteers contributed their own money to complete the projects, as no outside funds were available. There have been many successfully completed community building projects including the new Gateway south of town, other newly re-landscaped beds, a swim float in the bay, holiday decorations and more.

Library Donation From Quilcene
Monday, September 17th, 2012
Last August, on the primary election ballot, the Jefferson County Library failed to receive the 60% approval required, so the Library was not able to bond for the $8.4 million needed for the new construction. But the problem remains; our Library is suffering from its own remarkable success. There’s not enough room for the books and other resources, nor is there enough room for everybody to use the Library and its spaces as they would like. The Library still desperately needs a “fix” and to help the library get close to their goal, generous local families have set up a CHALLENGE so that every donation of $1.00 to $1,000 will be matched dollar for dollar. Here are three ways to make your tax deductible contribution: 1. Make a check payable to the Jefferson County Library and send it to: Jefferson County Library, Attn: Ray Serebrin, Director, 620 Cedar Avenue, Port Hadlock, WA 98339; 2. Click here and follow the prompts to donate online. Remember to ask for your donation to be matched under the “Make a Difference Campaign;” 3. Go to the US Bank in Quilcene and ask the teller to deposit your donation to Count Me In for Quilcene, specifying the Jefferson County Library remodeling fund. We will gather up all these donations on Sept. 17 and deliver the total amount to the Library as a gift from Quilcene. Thanks for supporting our Jefferson County Library. You’ll be glad you did!

Terrace Loop hike along Dosewallips River in Brinnon

March 8, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz Terrace Loop hike is 1.5 long. This trail begins and ends 100 yards from the Dosewallips Ranger Station on the Dosewallips River trail. The beautiful Dosewallips River is accessible along this 1.5 mile trail.

Beautiful Dosewallips River Valley
Side note: Dosewallips Road is washed out and is closed further along the road, approx. 5 miles from the park boundary.
Directions to the Ranger Station and Trailhead: From Brinnon, Drive north on Highway 101 to Dosewallips River Road, number 2610. Turn westward (left) on to Dosewallips River Road and travel 15 miles to the ranger station and trailhead. The last portion of the road is narrow and steep. It may be slippery when wet.
The full Dosewallips River Trail starts at the same place. The full hike is strenuous and is 14 miles long, for a much more advanced outing! More info about the full trail: http://trails.gorp.com/Main-Fork-Dosewallips-6386

Ranger Fishing Hole Trail and Interrorem Cabin in Brinnon

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Ranger Fishing Hole Trail and Interrorem Cabin in Brinnon

March 8, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz Take a firsthand look at history from 100 years ago at Ranger Hole Trail. The hike is just 1.6 total miles, mostly flat, but very steep down to the river. Moderate difficulty. Views of waterfalls can be seen from Ranger Hole, so named because rangers posted at the guard station used to fish for Steelhead there in the deep river “hole”.
There is a small picnic area and toilet at the trailhead. A Northwest Forest Pass or Interagency Pass (Annual, Senior or Access) is needed to park at the trailhead.
The trail here at the historic Ranger Fishing Hole has two parts and will really appeal to children—one part features the historic ranger’s cabin and signs telling about life in the early 1900s, and another part leads to a stunning overlook of a loud white-water rapid of the gorgeous pristine Duckabush River. An abundance of ferns and mosses along the way provide a lush understory of plants in a conifer stand of trees.
Directions: South of the town of Brinnon, take Forest Service Road #2510, 4 miles to the end of pavement. Ranger Hole Trail is on the left, near the vintage Interrorem Cabin.

Interrorem Cabin at historic Ranger Hole
This is the very first ranger station serving the Olympic Forest, built in 1906. The square three-room cabin with a pyramidal roof later was a Depression era WPA and CCC station, and then a fire guard station; today it is available for rent by families. For rental info, contact Hoodsport Ranger Station for information at (360) 877-5254 or reserve online with Reserve America.
HAZARD WARNING: The Duckabush river contains swift water, rapids and waterfalls. River is not floatable. Use extreme caution in or near the water and supervise children closely at all times.

Murhut Falls Trail in Brinnon

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Murhut Falls Trail in Brinnon

March 8, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz This magical Olympic National Forest trail in the Duckabush Recreation Area is just 1.4 miles in length, but it takes you into another world. It leads to a very high woodland waterfall that will captivate photographers and hikers with it’s beauty and thundering power. The 130-foot-tall waterfall spills over the top of the highest ledge, drops, then levels off in a plunge pool, and then hurtles down again to steam and settle down again in the valley below.

One section of the 130-foot tall Murhut Falls
This is a great hike for a hot summer day with it’s cool canyon breezes, shade, and spray to cool you. The trail was once a logging road, which has recovered nicely from those days. In spring huge native rhododendrons and tiny umbrella ferns bloom along the shady trail.
The drive out to the trailhead is not too steep but the road may have many deep potholes. Go slow! No toilet or drinking water at the trailhead.
CAUTION: Trail is very narrow and has a steep plunge off one side down to the steep canyon below! Hold on to children’s hands here. Pets on leash only.
For more information and good directions, click on this official park info (PDF)****

Also visit the Murhut Falls page on GORP website.

Duckabush River Trail in Brinnon

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Duckabush River Trail in Brinnon

March 8, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz This 5 mile trail is very scenic and you will enjoy the sight and sounds of the rushing river. The lush rainforest ecology here is due to the annual 140 inches of rainfall, upriver in the Olympic Mountains!
The beautiful Duckabush Valley has been very geologically active and bears many marks of glaciers. You will see huge glacially deposited moss-covered boulders left by the Duckabush Glacier during the last Ice Age. Thousands of years later, an old logging railroad early in the twentieth century was used here to drag out huge old-growth trees, mostly Douglas Fir, Madrone and Maple. Rusty logging cables and a few old rails lie beside the trail to tell their tale. Children can still find and touch them. The first 2½ miles of this trail are gentle enough for children, and are lush with forest ferns, moss, flowers, and berries.
http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/olympic/recreation-nu/trails/Duckabush.pdf
Getting there — On U.S. Route 101, about 15 miles south of Quilcene or 37 miles north of Shelton, turn at milepost 310 onto Duckabush River Road (Road 2510), signed Duckabush Recreation Area. Continue 6 miles (the first 3.5 miles are paved). Pass Collins Campground at 5 miles, pass a horse unloading area and then turn right on Road 2510-060 (This is a small sign on your right) to the trailhead and facilities, elevation about 440 feet.
Duckabush River Trail : Take FS Road #2510 for 6 miles to FS Road #2510-060 and the trailhead. At trailhead: vault toilet, parking, registration, wilderness permit box for Olympic National Park. Access Park trail via USFS Wilderness Trail #803, which includes 1,000 foot ascent over Big Hump. River Ford at Upper Duckabush can be hazardous to cross in spring and early summer. The grade gets steeper in climb to subalpine headwaters at Marmot Lake and then O’Neil Pass. Marmot Lake 201 miles; O’Neil Pass 21.3 miles from USFS Duckabush Trailhead. National Park overnight fees required. Trail Park pass required. For more info, call Wilderness Information Center: 360-452-0300, Hood Canal Ranger Station: 360-877-5254; Staircase Ranger Station: 360-877-5569.
The first mile or so climbs gently past the Brothers Wilderness boundary. Then it makes it way down to the roaring Duckabush River. After a short stretch along the river, we made our way towards Big Hump. The high point of Big Hump is at about 1700 feet. This is the steepest part of the run. Beyond Big Hump we followed the meandering trail through pristine virgin forest. This section of the trail is gently rolling and it gradually makes its way down to 5-mile campground. 5-mile campground sits along the impressive rapids of the Duckabush. We snapped some photos and decided it was time to start our reverse run back to Big Hump and down to the trail head. (Special note for motivated mountain runners: You can continue past 5-mile campground for 17 more miles all the way to O’Neil Pass, elevation 4950 feet.)
You are very near the start of an advanced Duckabush River 21-mile backpacking hike into the mountains, for more info about that adventure see Trails.com:

Public Clam and Oyster Beach at Quilcene Bay

A vault toilet is located at the northernmost of the two small parking lots. There are no trash receptacles at this site. Don’t be selfish with our shellfish!Please pack out all your garbage.
From the southernmost of the two parking lots, walk down the embankment and follow the marked path out to the tidelands; don’t stray outside the marked path or you’ll end up in soft mud. Private tideland boundaries adjacent to the WDFW tidelands are marked with white fiberglass posts.

Wildlife Viewing Platform at Dosewallips State Park, Brinnon

February 24, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz Dosewallips River Estuary View from Platform
There are several entrances to Dosewallips State Park. To find the trail to the platform, look for a gravel road immediately north of the Dosewallips river bridge. The road leads down to a flat grassy area, you will see a ranger residence and grassy field beyond it with a large interpretive sign at the trailhead. Dogs are permitted but must be on leash. Wild elk frequent the area, and can easily kill a curious dog. Please keep pets leashed and children supervised.
Park hours in Summer: 8AM to 10PM, and Winter: 8 AM to 5PM. The viewing platform is accessible all year. The trail out to the platform is flat and well-maintained, with several interpretive signs along the way about different elements of river habitat and the importance of the different natural features you can see.

“Rocky Brook” Falls in Brinnon

February 24, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz “Rocky Brook” Falls in Brinnon

Rocky Brook Falls in Brinnon
This is a very easy level walk of about 200 yards that culminates in a spectacular 229′ tall waterfall! A small hydrologic project was installed at the falls in 1986 which supplies water for Brinnon.
Drive HWY 101 North of Brinnon (South of Quilcene) and turn left on the Dosewallips Road. Drive 3 miles west and the walk begins on the right after crossing Rocky Brook Bridge. Park carefully on the left on the far side of the road. Follow the walking trail past the hydro facility to the falls. The address of the hike start is 3000 Dosewallips Rd, Brinnon WA. VIEW A MAP.
Please note: The rocks at the base of the falls are mossy and can be exceptionally slippery if wet, so be very careful if you are an off-trail rock-hopper. Filed Under: Things to Do Tagged With: Brinnon, Dosewallips, guests, hike, hiking, recreation, river, Rocky Brook, scenery, walk, waterfall

Mt. Walker Overview

February 24, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz Mt. Walker Overview View from Mt Walker Overlook A great local drive, or strenuous hike, on a clear day! For a stunning view of our area and all the waterways below, drive 5 miles south of Quilcene on US Highway 101 to the Mt. Walker Road. Turn onto Mt.

Indian George Creek Estuarine Restoration Site

February 24, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz Indian George Creek Estuarine Restoration Site

View to East Quilcene from Indian George Beach
Great for picnics and splashing in the bay! Very close to downtown Quilcene. Paved parking and a public toilet are available here at Indian George Creek Beach, but the real attractions are sandy shores and lovely views across the clear waters of Quilcene Bay over to wooded East Quilcene and the Toandos peninsula beyond. Bring a picnic and blanket or towel.
Take Linger Longer Road east from HWY 101 in Quilcene, and follow south for 1.25 miles to access the two Indian George Creek parking areas on the beach side of the road. VIEW A MAP.
Industrial use and erosion threatened to degrade this lovely shore so a restoration project now protects the environment and allows public access. The Quilcene Marina and shellfish nurseries are just farther down Linger Longer road, for more exploring.

“Falls View” Trail Waterfall in Quilcene

Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT

“Falls View” Trail Waterfall in Quilcene

February 24, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz “Falls View” Trail Waterfall in Quilcene

Beautiful Falls View waterfall
This waterfall access is located off US Highway 101 at Falls View Campground (US Forest Service), a distance of four miles south of Quilcene or nine miles north of Brinnon. VIEW A MAP. Best to visit in autumn through spring, as the fall can dry up during a particularly dry summer. Scroll down for video!!
Visitors here have two choices of walking trails – The “Canyon Trail” is steep, with intermediate exertion, and the “Loop Trail” is easy. Drive to the back of the left (south) campground loop to access either trail. If the campground gate is closed (seasonally) park at the entrance on Hwy 101 and walk in. There are public restrooms, picnic spots and free parking whichever trail you choose. Our amazing wild rhododendrons are in full bloom here mid-May to early June!
The challenging “Canyon Trail” hike is steep , a 10-20% grade 0.6 mile long forested trail that rewards hikers with very close views of the 200′ falls from several points along the way down.
The “Loop” trail is shorter and easier. It begins in the south loop (left side) of the campground along the course of the Big Quilcene River far below. This Loop is just 0.1 miles long, very family-friendly. If the campground gate is closed, park at the entrance and walk in less than ¼ mile to the south loop and access the trail.Your view of waterfall is from the overlook near the picnic area.

Jefferson Land Trust has been helping the community to protect open space, working lands and habitat for 21 years now, thanks to the foresight of four community members who recognized the need for a local conservation effort to provide a legacy of special landscapes of Jefferson County, AND to the amazing, ongoing dedication of volunteers, landowners, and community members.
We work primarily with private landowners who want to preserve for future generations the natural beauty and bounty of the land they treasure. Most often this is done in partnership with the landowners through a permanent agreement that runs with the land called a conservation easement , though we also hold property as well.

Wild Rhododendrons in Bloom, May – June

January 22, 2011 by Andrew Schwartz Here in the Pacific Northwest we are very proud of our wild Rhododendrons. They start blooming in May and continue well into June. Our wild rhododendrons are abundant in the forests and along the highways and grow to amazing heights.
To see them, we recommend the local waterfall walks and the Mount Walker overloook point "Local Scenic Walks and Waterfalls", and a drive along Coyle Road for eye-popping displays of the gorgeous wild blooms along the roadside. To see amazing cultivated varieties, head to Whitney Gardens Nursery in Brinnon!
