Grays Harbor Living Photo Contest Winners Reception @ Pearsall Building
Feb 16 @ 3:30 pm

Grays Harbor County Public Health & Social Services Department has teamed up with Grays Harbor Living to bring beautiful, local artwork to the county’s Pearsall Building.

On February 16, we will honor the local photographers whose work was selected to be printed, framed, and displayed.

We will gather in the Harbor Room (after you walk through the building entrance, continue straight ahead to the Harbor Room) to hear a few words from our staff and county commissioners, then we’ll go on a tour of the building to see the photographs on display.

St. Patrick's Day Art Show @ Town Hall | Copalis Crossing | Washington | United States

Get inspired this St. Patrick’s Day by perusing original art created by the Grays Harbor community. North Coast Montessori, an elementary and middle school in Seabrook, Washington’s beach town, will host its second annual St. Patrick’s Day Art Show.

The exhibit will showcase original work in various media – including paintings, drawings, prints, photography, mixed media and sculpture – from artists of all ages who live or work in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Thirty percent of event proceeds will be donated to the North Coast Montessori Scholarship Fund, which contributes to full and partial scholarships to the school for students in grades K-8. The goal of the event is to provide scholarships for 1-2 students for the 2018-19 school year.

Guests can enjoy refreshments, green beer and champagne while appreciating local artists’ creations. After finding their next masterpiece, visitors can explore the surrounding area’s quaint shops, walking trails, parks and homes.

Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival @ Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge Office | Hoquiam Middle School
Apr 27 @ 7:00 am

Each spring, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed along the Washington Coast and in the Grays Harbor estuary during their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world’s greatest migrants. Some birds travel over 15,000 miles round trip! The concentration of birds during spring migration offers people a great chance to view a number of shorebird species.

Pre-registration is recommended for fee events and must be postmarked by April 16, 2018.
