The Nisqually Reach Nature Center provides estuarine environmental education on the Nisqually River delta in view of the river’s headwaters on Mount Rainier.
At this magical place overlooking the shore of Puget Sound at the mouth of McAllister Creek ... or as the local Nisqually Indians called it, She-Nah-Nam ("place where they get a form of spirit power") ... we offer a hands-on experience for local school kids, research opportunities for local college students, internship opportunities for budding naturalists and educators, and volunteer opportunities for concerned citizens, maybe just like you, who want to help others appreciate and understand their sense of place in this part of the world.
The Nisqually Reach Nature Center is open to the public 12-4pm on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
It was absolutely beautiful out today so it gave me a chance to drive down to Olympia and visit Nisqually Reach and end the day at the City of Kirkland's Juanita Bay Park.The nice weather also gave me a chance to try out a new Nikon lens I bought. (Nikon AF-S 70-300 mm VR lens) It works great!

I Took a drive up to Deception Falls(At the base of the west side of Stevens Pass) for a hike and to see if I could get a few nice pictures, the weather turned out pretty nice. This is a very nice area for a hike if you ever get up this way but it's easy to miss the turn if you don't pay attention.
