Healing

This beautiful totem pole welcomes patients to the Jamestown Family Health Clinic . It is just one of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe's many totem poles. It tells the story of a wren who outwitted the wind.

The pole is hand carved from a single log which has been split lengthwise. Here you see the back of the pole.

This beautiful water feature is is between the parking area and the front door of the clinic. The soothing sound of flowing water relaxes patients as they come to their appointments.

Welcome Pole

This is the Welcome Pole outside the Peninsula College Longhouse.

It was carved on the campus by Jamestown S'Kallam tribal artist Jeff Monson and a couple of his apprentices.

This is a view of the entrance to the Longhouse, which is also referred to as The House of Learning.

The Longhouse is set among Western Red Cedars at the back of the campus.

Benches

Before heading out to Rialto Beach, we stopped in Forks, WA for breakfast. This bench was outside the restaurant we ate in. It is a very patriotic example of chain saw art.

These two benches flank the entrance to a small market on the Quileute Reservation on the other side of the Quileute River from Rialto Beach. I love the contrast between these two benches and the one we saw in Forks.

Passing by Fat Smitty's

Here is what you see in the parking lot of Fat Smitty's. The burgers here are renowned for their huge size. Chain saw art is a phenomenon of the Pacific Northwest often practiced by loggers.
