We just returned from a family reunion in Union, Washington, where we had the good fortune to hook up with our old pal and 69er, Dave Robbins. He was kind enough to show us around his various projects located just between Lilliwaup, and Dosewallips, on the Hood canal. He has quite an operation harvesting lumber and oysters, both sustainable and environmentally managed.

I encourage anyone who likes oysters to check out the Hama Hama Oyster Company bar and smokehouse, right there in downtown Lilliwaup! And be sure and say hi to Dave, he’ll treat you right.
