On the way, stopped at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. Quite a few visitors. Nice long boardwalk. 
Lots of waterfowls, including some herons. Learned a bird called Green-winged Teal, who has a green stripe on the head. They are smaller than normal ducks. And the duck with a large bill is Northern Shoveler, which also has a green head.
Next, stopped at Grays Harbor NWR, because I saw a brochure at Nisqually. Only saw one couple walking. The boardwalk is a bit slippery. 
You have to walk about 0.6 miles of road to the refuge area. Other than the Canadian Geese on the lawn of the airport and a dead bird, didn't see any birds. Not worth going. Maybe during spring migration (late April - early May) is the only good time to visit.
Twin Harbor State Park beach had plenty cars and diggers, but not as many as I thought. Maybe for a reason. I didn't see anyone caught anything. The sunset today was beautiful, this alone is worth the trip.Stayed at Chateau Westport for new year's eve. Quite a lot of people here. I put my wet socks and boots near the fireplace using synthetic log, because the wave caught me at one point. Nice balcony. After dinner, went to Westport Light State Park at the northern tip of Westport. The moon was huge (super moon a day later), shining through cotton-like clouds with pinkish halo. Not too cold. Back to the hotel, I set up alarm clock for 11:50pm, so I can welcome the new year.
1/1. Slept into the new year. My alarm was set for Monday, a wrong day. Got up ~7:30, had some coffee and an egg, walked to the beach. Only saw one person the entire time. The pink sky lasted a long time. A good restful beginning of 2018.
