A good idea to steer clear of Crockett Lake Preserve for a while today until this morning’s incident gets untangled. Thankfully, no one appeared to be injured.

Congressman Rick Larsen paid a fun visit to Crockett Lake today to talk with us, State Parks, and Whidbey Island Audubon about the incredible habitat significance of the preserve. A Short-eared Owl flew by, thrilling the congressman! Rep. Rick Larsen
