Notable Wildlife
I really was trying to head toward Cascade cliff--but noticed with low tide some of the rocks. Lots of barnacles, mussels, however I didn't see any Sea Stars.
Driftline Content
Shells. Saw one dead Dungeness Crab (about 5 inch across), otherwise the wrack line was fairly clean of debris. I did pick up some plastic but is was scattered along the beach.

Drainage pipes. Erosion continues along the coast (sandstone and siltstone) with drainage pipes at the equivalent of NW 61st and NW 62nd street. Also erosion continues on the pathway down toward the beach from 57th and Meander.
Natural Changes
Landslides/major boulder falls. Sandstone and siltstone continue to erode.
