Fort Nisqually was created by the Hudson's Bay Company in the 1830s. Two of the original buildings have been moved, and others re-created in the park at Point Defiance, near Tacoma.

Fort Nisqually at Point Defiance. The visitors are standing outisde the Blacksmiths' shop (which is staffed by an accountant who takes to blacksmithing in his spare time!)

Des Moines harbour restaurant. I recommend the clam chowder.
Sign at Des Moines harbour. So you can't read the sign, and you can't tell what kinds of birds are on top of the sign. But the colours are pretty.
