Sunday we packed up the car and started back towards Seattle with a couple of beach parks on Bainbridge Island on our iPhone maps. First we went to Faye Bainbridge Park. It's on the east side of the island facing back towards the Cascade mountains. The video below pans the horizon from Mt. Ranier to Mt. Baker (and Sandra beach glass hunting).
It was a lovely park, but we didn't find much glass there.

Next we went to Hawley Cove Park. It a conservancy park without much in the way of improvements, but there's a boardwalk across wetlands to a beach with a view of the ferry terminal. On the walk through the woods, we came across this tree that was growing out of a tree stump. We've seen these before in the forest, but not usually with the stump so rotted away with mostly the roots of the tree holding it up.
The beach was rocky with shells, barnacles, and and sand dollars.
We found lots of beach glass, including the usual beer bottles browns and greens, but also some really old fashioned amber bottle parts (photos to come). We completely filled our glass bags and had trouble leaving. This was one of the best glass spots we've found.
