What we’re about
Welcome to Adventures and Events! The purpose of this group to create an all activities group that helps connect one another to fun and memorable experiences. It is not based on any one type of activity but rather an assortment of things. Everyone that wants to go make new friends, dine, go rafting, explore, hike, sky dive, go kayaking, do urban walks, do bon fires, travel and experience all of life's great joys are welcome to join.
Claudette of Claudette Travels is our head resident travel agent and co-Organizer - you're welcome to contact her to arrange trips for you and the group!
We're also looking for volunteers to host events. Choose an activity that you would like to do and pick a day and time to do it, choose a place to meet and how people can find you when they get to the location.
Benefits to volunteers: You get to do the activities you want, when you want to do them with people that enjoy the same activities you do, who live/work near you and have the same work/play schedule that you have. You will meet and mingle with lots of people as everyone looks to the host to lead the group.

- Sea Urchin, Sea Cucumber, Scallop, and Clam forage trip at Freshwater BayGreen Lake Park & Ride, Seattle, WA
Description
Imagine a weekend escape to the serene shores of Freshwater Bay, where the thrill of foraging meets the beauty of nature. Picture yourself harvesting a bounty of sea urchins, sea cucumbers, scallops, gooseneck barnacles, and other delectable shellfish. This unique adventure offers a rare opportunity to gather sea urchins, which are best found during the winter months when the tides are low and later in the day.
As you explore the vibrant tidal pools and rocky outcrops, you’ll be immersed in the rich marine life that calls this bay home. The crisp, salty air and the gentle sound of waves create a perfect backdrop for this hands-on experience.
After a day of foraging, take a short trip to nearby Port Angeles. Here, you can stroll through charming streets, visit local shops, and enjoy fresh seafood at cozy restaurants. The town’s scenic views of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca add to the allure of this coastal getaway.
Whether you’re a seasoned forager or a curious beginner, this weekend trip promises an unforgettable blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery. 🌊🦀🌿Airbnb spots and costs
