Exploring Washington State | Dungeness Spit
After our adventures in Hawaii, Wild and Growing took the time to visit family in Washington State. We visited the longest sand spit in the United States! It's home to a wildlife protected area and located on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. During our time here we saw lots of cool wild life including Mergansers, a bald eagle, crustaceans, a blue heron, a seal, and lots of birds!
The entire Dungeness Spit trail trail is 6 miles to the lighthouse on the end of the spit. We only ended up walking 3 miles out. The Dungeness Spit, continues to grow 13 feet each year, as the bluffs degrade.
Besides the amazing wildlife and massive piles of driftwood we came across, we also found large amount of kelp! Kelp creates an important habitat for many sea creatures but are threatened by sea urchins who eat the roots of kelp. Sea otters protect the kelp by eating the sea urchins, their favorite meal. Learn how you can protect sea otters here:
