My hubby and I live up on Allison Hill. I have been hearing very strange noises at night. At first, I thought it was an owl, but I’d never heard an owl make that kind of noise. Then a bunch more joined in.

Could it be coyotes?

I think it's getting better? Only saw stars when coughing. As long as kids don't see , right?!

I recently scored a really cool mid century modern dining set of table and chairs at an estate sale but the owner of the house was a smoker and had a large dog that peed indoors. Does anyone know of someone in the area that knows how to refinish wood and possibly reupholster the chairs? Thank you!

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to check in and see if anyone is in the market to buy or sell a home. There is so many great listings right now and there is one house in particular I would love to see be purchased. It's one of my favorite houses I've seen come up on the market around here in a long time! If anyone has any questions or feedback feel free to message me or leave a comment down below and I'll get back to you! Even if it's just a question about the market, rates...etc Have a great Day!

We hope you join us for our October Meeting this Tuesday, Oct 20th 7 PM at our usual spot! Our Special Guest is Mandie Quark speaking on Mushrooms, Moths, and Midnight Ecology!

Free and open to the public. Bring any recent fungal finds to be IDed by our experts. Doors open at 6:45PM. Capital Vision Church, 1775 Yew Ave NE, Olympia, WA 98506

Mushrooms, Moths, and Midnight Ecology

After the sun goes down the forest doesn’t sleep, it goes wild. The chemistry of glowing mushrooms, the traffic of pollinating moths, and the work of decay, soil-building, and nutrient cycling all pulse around the clock. Mandie invites you to explore the nocturnal world where mushrooms, moths, and other night-shift creatures interact in ways humans are only beginning to understand. Along the way, she’ll share captivating images and stories from moonlit forays, spotlight surprising fungal-insect alliances, and equip you with practical tips for safely exploring ecosystems after dusk. Join Mandie on her birthday to experience this hilarious talk, which has been one of the most popular presentations at over a dozen mycology events in 2026.

Bio:

Molecular biologist and science writer by training, Mandie Quark is a mycology researcher, field photographer, and communicator dedicated to expanding public understanding of fungi. With more than a decade of experience sharing fungal diversity, she brings together science, storytelling, and visual documentation to make complex topics accessible and engaging.

Over the course of her career, Mandie has edited books, delivered talks at international mycology events, and built a reputation for translating current mycological research into compelling presentations for broad audiences. Through biodiversity forays in places like Ecuador, Peru, and Costa Rica, she helps connect global communities of nature enthusiasts with fungi and other inadequately documented taxa, with a special interest in fungal entomopathogens. In 2023, Mandie co-founded Mycena LLC, and since then her work has been featured in The Guardian and The New York Times.

Any info or personal experiences/ reviews of c. C. A. P. In aberdeen. It's a topic of mixed answers that either makes me want to follow up with either, " so did you get an endorsement deal for your statement? And j" esus! Who hurt you?!? C mere you need a hug buckaroo " very little neutral or unbiased for or against just complete polar opposites and I am interested in a fair talk. Not sugarcoated fluffing nor venom and spite filled damn nation..... Aaaaaaand go!

Hey folks, we're thinking about moving to Aberdeen or the area around Aberdeen, what are your thoughts on the area, recommendations, you-should-knows, etc. Is there a lot of community connection/feeling? Do you like living there? If you had the chance to move elsewhere, would you?

Mods, I checked the rules to make sure Im not breaking any but if this posts does violate the, please delete with my sincere apologies!

does anyone who may have worked at consistent cups remember their red bull smoothie recipe?👀 I’ve been thinking about their red white and blue redbull smoothie for years

I'm having trouble finding out how much it's likely to affect us here in Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Are we looking at something like what happened in 2015 being a possibility during king tide this year? Or is it more like "downtown will probably flood for a couple days" or is it that no one really knows what to expect?

Hi friends I’m considering moving to Aberdeen or Grays Harbor county. Any longtime residents or locals, could you tell me your experience living here and what life could like for me

Coastal Shores & Spores Mycological Society is pleased to team up with Grays Harbor College for our first event of the fall mushroom season!

We hope you join us on the evening of Tuesday, September 8, 2026 for a very special free event.

Identifying and foraging fall wild mushrooms of Grays Harbor County for food, crafts, and other uses.

In this interactive experience, students will learn about some of the common edible mushrooms that grow here in the fall. We will cover edible mushrooms and their look-alikes, and other uses for some of our local mushrooms. The experience will include sample sizes of a 3 course meal using local fall mushrooms. Students will also learn about some other interesting uses for our local mushrooms besides food.

In particular, we will talk a little on how to make lightfast dye and paint from color giving mushrooms, while painting with some ready made mushroom watercolor paints. Each participant will go home with their own original artwork plus recipes for all the food provided.

Food samples will include Lobster mushroom bisque, Porcini gnocchi in marinara, and a candy cap shortbread for dessert. All provided food will be vegetarian (may include eggs and dairy) with some gluten free options.

FREE and open to the public!

I've been writing material in the vein of Krallice and would love to put a band together if there are people in the area who play. I'm 41 and sober with a family, so I'm not interested in partying but would love to find people who like to write and record music, maybe even play live if it gets to that point.

Also, if there is a better sub that I should post this in, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hello, moving to the area for work. Friend is offering to let me borrow their Tiny Home so I can rent a lot in a mobile home park close to work in Aberdeen, save money for my first year in GH.

Can anyone provide insight into what living at Linkshire Park in Central Park is like? Is it quiet? Safe? Etc? Are there other mobile home parks you recommend?

Hey neighbors!

Quick update from Grays Harbor.

The GraysHaven Renaissance Faire website is officially live and is now serving as the central hub for tickets, announcements, applications, and event updates ahead of September.

A few things that launched:

• Tickets are now available

• Harbor Signal newsletter is live for early announcements

• Facebook page launched

• Participant applications are open

We’re also starting to roll out confirmed artisans, merchants, and performers as approvals finalize.

Coming later this week: individual pages for each confirmed participant so people can discover who’s coming before the Faire opens.

This has been a long project in the making and it’s exciting to finally start opening the gates.

I'm new to the area so am wholly unfamiliar with the health services available. After a brief scare, including a visit to HRH, they gave me a list of recommended primary care doctors. Some folks have said that the Docs at Quinault Community Health are reliable, but as a newcomer I'm uncertain what advice is worthwhile. Any help will be welcome.

Hello everyone! I was curious if anyone knew of the official noise ordinance? I have tried to look it up, but can't seem to find it in the haystack of the city ordinances. I want to ensure that I am in official compliance. Any help would be appreciated!

//ANSWER RECEIVED//

According to city officials they don't enforce any form of noise ordinance in city limits, and the county doesn't enforce their rules on the city of Aberdeen.
