In Focus: Views From Willapa Hills Trail, Tune Road and Highway 603
A bald eagle soars over a barn off the Willapa Hills Trail on Monday afternoon. After an unseasonally wet and cold start to spring, the National Weather Service in Seattle is predicting warmer weather and clearer skies for the week ahead. Highs in the mid-60s to mid-70s and partly sunny skies are predicted through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. The timing is especially helpful for the photographer who captured these photos. Reporter Isabel Vander Stoep and photographer Jared Wenzelburger on Saturday will embark on a journey on the Chehalis River — via kayak — from Pe Ell to Grays Harbor. They’ll take readers along for the ride, with comprehensive coverage of their journey and issues related to the river unfolding over 10 days.
