This is the tallest lighthouse on the Washington coast, the Westport Lighthouse.  We passed it yesterday, April 15 on our way south to Raymond, WA.

Raymond is an unexpected gem about 30 miles south of Westport.  The town has committed itself to displaying steel art everywhere.  Here are just a few of the beautiful pieces we saw.







They even had decorative surrounds on the downtown trees.
We had lunch at the Kountry Kitchen and I overheard a lady at the next table saying that most of the town's inhabitants were from Virginia and North Carolina.  Not sure if it is true, but very interesting to me.

Westport had its annual Crab Races and Feed yesterday.  There was a large tent set up and people could get a whole Dungeness crab dinner for $24 or $19 for a half crab.  We decided to skip the crowds and had dinner at the Islander Restaurant.  Next to the restaurant is the Westport Observation Tower.
This is a picture of the tsunami sirens you see everywhere on the coast.


After dinner, we went back to the RV to cuddle in with the dogs and watch a DVD.  The first night we watched Creed, which was about Rocky and the son of Apollo Creed.  The second night we watched Ages of Adaline about a woman who didn't age, and last night we watched August, Osage County about a family in deep conflict because of the mother's drug addiction.  Pretty depressing but Meryl Streep was great.  Who knows what we have on hand for tonight?
