![A Sea Between Ridges, Olympic Peninsula, Washington, 2025 [OC]](https://preview.redd.it/jfrs2zmicw8h1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=7b1870690f81a41ead23ae75292d3ba2c7d6b47b)
Fog pooled deeply between the ridges, spreading outward like a quiet inland sea. In autumn, the Olympic Peninsula often reveals these layered moments, where land rises and disappears within drifting clouds.
Hi everyone, I don’t know if this is the place for this but, I’m hoping anyone who sees this post will help us find our cat Eric. He‘s been missing since June 20th Saturday, he was last seen at 5pm outside of Maple St and O St near Delta Park (The Veteran statue) in Hoquiam, WA.
He was wearing a white onesie with orange carrot decals. He’s 20 years old so he incredibly vulnerable on his own, he is an indoor cat. Please refer to the QR code for the facebook ad regarding him and give a call to the number on the flyer even if you see him. Thank you everyone! You can also message me on here as well.

The Quinault Rainforest Mushroom Festival is a free, family-friendly event held each fall at Lake Quinault School in Amanda Park. This year is on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
It's basically a full day devoted to mushrooms, tucked into one of the most impressive temperate rain forests on the planet.
You don't need to know a chanterelle from a shoelace to have a good time either. The festival is just as welcoming to curious first timers as it is to die-hard foragers. The day includes guest speakers, hands on workshops and classes, and guided forays where you head out into the woods to hunt for fungi, plus a vendor market stocked with local artisans, craft makers, and food. There's also a Kids Zone this year with crafts and activities, raffle prizes up for grabs, and if a full day of mushfest isn't enough for you, a VIP dinner the historic Lake Quinault Lodge with keynote speaker Noah Siegel the night before.
The whole thing is put on by the Coastal Shores and Spores Mycological Society, an all-volunteer mushroom club based in Ocean Shores.
