There was a swarm of 1 to 2.9 on the Richter Scale quakes there in early 2009 (The Wooded Island Swarm) and then nothing or at least very little for over a year. So I was surprised when I did my bedtime check of Recent Earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest and saw that episode.

The interesting thing about that patch of seismic activity is that almost all of the quakes are at midchannel in the Yakima.

(Not in Richland, just a geology geek).

I felt it when I was on my dinner break last night just a little movement. I am in Kitsap county.

How big and do you just want to keep the coons out but let water / rain in? Give me little more info I think I have a design in mind.

I'm thinking some open grate kind of thing. Yes keep the critters out, but let in rain, light. The net keeps out the herons, but the raccoons just rip right through. Any kind of open grate; I'll probably need to cover with the net as well. Those darn herons will stick their heads through 1 inch openings. I don't really mind them (except when they are eating my chickens or fish) The liner is rather expensive to let them poke holes in. It's a large enough pond(maybe 8X5) that it might need to be 2 pieces.

It's an oval shape. The yellow X is where the pump is. I need to pull it frequently to clean it. It can be moved. The red line is a shallow shelf for plants.

I remember Ward Cove Packing, but don't think I ever had a connection to it.
The names don't ring a bell. I graduated from KHS in '79. Left shortly thereafter.
Now TEMSCO
Do the names Bill Hornbaker, Roy Hornbaker ring any bells for you? Dad & Brother.

Would KHS be from Burien?

nope, we're talking Ketchikan High (in Alaska)

Laurie Brindle would have been about class of 1971 or 72 -- so you probably didn't know her

in checking on things, I found there are a couple of Facebook groups for former employees of Wards Cove; possibly you knew some of them even if you didn't know the management ...

My grandmother ran a boarding house during the great depression, and was a renouned cook. When I watched her cook she used one battered old cup, and her hand to measure with, she told me that it did not matter much but you needed to use the same cup all the time so your measuments would stay the same. I smile when I see all the fancy measuring equipment we have today.

Exactly how my Grandma Sokolik cooked, and my mother and her elder sister Margaret, all of them cooks of great reknown; Mom eventually got into more precise measurments, but that was at least partly because she did a lot of wedding cakes and cooked frostings which can go disasterously wrong with unbalanced ingrediants.
