Bill Brookreson, chair of the South Sound Chapter of the Washington Native Plants Society will begin the day with a talk at the Grays Harbor Community College where we will learn the ins and outs of our unique coastal ecosystems. Then we will head out into one of CRBLT’s most beautiful properties to shine a new light on the flora of our PNW coastal lowlands. Prepare for a short drive (carpooling is encouraged!) from the Grays Harbor College to our 175-acre surge plains to enjoy a beautiful nature walk. Be sure to bring rain gear, boots, or sunscreen as needed for a walk in unpredictable weather!
Today is the kick off of availability of Passport to Grays Harbor History. Visit a museum today (Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Lake Quinault, McCleary, Montesano, Moclips, Ocean Shores, or Westport) and get started collecting your unique passport stamps. Great summer fun!
Quinault Tribal Museum has had to postpone their celebration to June 16 & 17, but it will be worth the wait with a storyteller, artisans, vender, tours & refreshments.
The Aberdeen School District and Aberdeen Education Association are co-hosting a reception honoring all staff who are retiring from service to the District this year. All are invited.
It’s that time of year again. Come out to the fairgrounds to watch the Elma High School Class of 2017 graduate. Watch as the tassels move side to side and the hats come off! We’ll see you there!
We’ve all seen would-be beautiful spaces choked by a field of invasive plants, whether they be Scotch Broom, blackberry thickets, tansy, thistles, reed canary grass, knotweed…. you get the picture. But what is our local government doing about it, and how can we help? Join Nancy Ness, coordinator for the Grays Harbor County Noxious Weed Board on an exploratory workshop on invasive control methods in use by our local governments. Prepare for the weather with rain gear, boots, or sunscreen as needed.
The celebration is for anyone earning a GED between July 2016 and now who took the GED tests at the College. Those interested in participating should contact the Transitions office at 360-538-4167 as soon as possible.
Not only does the event acknowledge those who have successfully passed the GED test, but also those who have earned their high school diplomas through GHC’s High School 21+ program. Tickets are not required for the ceremony.
Current college and graduate school students, who graduated from a Grays Harbor County high school, are encouraged to seek financial assistance for their education by applying for the E. K. and Lillian F. Bishop Foundation scholarships.

In the heart of Historic Downtown Aberdeen the Aberdeen Art Walk is going to be exploding on the streets with artists and vendors from all over Western Washington. Art Walk is a way for us to give back to the community by showing off our Downtown and Western WA talents to the public. This event is a Non-Profit event and is FREE for the public to attend. There is something for all to enjoy.
