The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Friday, April 10th, 2009

I just got a call from Mary Henley saying the family just signed the papers to reacquire Silver Lake Resort.

We had just a short conversation, her cell phone battery was running low, but she said she wanted to let the public know the news.

The family owned the resort since 1950, but sold it a couple of years ago. She and George Henley recently decided to give it a go again.

"It’s a real neat thing that happened," she said. "The community is going to be absolutely thrilled."

I'll have more details when I have a chance to talk with George and Mary.

Dan Ayres, the state's coastal shellfish manager, sent out a reminder about this weekend's clam dig.

Here is what he wanted to pass along:

1. All diggers 15 years and older will need a new license.

2. The only two beaches open are Twin Harbors (which includes: Westport, Grayland and North Cove) today through Sunday, and Long Beach (which includes Seaview, Long Beach, Ocean Park and Oysterville) Saturday and Sunday.

3. The following beaches are NOT open: Copalis (which includes Ocean Shores, Oyhut, Ocean City and Copalis), Mocrocks (which includes: Iron Springs, Roosevelt, Seabrook, Pacific Beach and Moclips) and Kalaloch.

Ayres also noted that legal tribal harvest activities will be underway during portions of the weekend on both Copalis and Mocrocks.
