OCEAN SHORES NEWS WINTER WEATHER BRING ICE and SNOW     December 6-9, 2013 ~ Ocean Shores, WA saw very unusual below freezing temperatures, reaching to lows of the high 10's and low 20's. It got so cold that the Grand Canal and parts of Duck Lake froze. In my ten years here, I have never seen that happen. We received some snow on the 6th and 8th. If this happens again, here are some tips: keep your vacant home heated to at least 55 degrees, cover your outdoor faucets, and have your faucets run a small drip to help keep the pipes from freezing. The picture above is taken from the Overlake St Bridge over Duck Lake and yes, that is snow on top of the frozen Duck Lake waters. Take a look above at the Seagull walking on the Grand Canal.    See more pictures at www.OceanShoresInfo.com/pics/winterdec2013.html

OCEAN SHORES EVENTS/NEWS   Celebrate 4th of July on the Beaches of Ocean Shores, WA     July 4, 2013 ~ Independence Day fell on a Thursday this year and it was packed. We saw beautifully sunny skies, but some wind. Independence Day is one of the greatest and most amazing sites visitors and locals can see along the beaches of Ocean Shores and the North Beach. The beaches are lined with cars and people packing it in as nighttime approaches. The fireworks can be heard as the days lead up to the 4th, but America's birthday brings the most unbelievable sites you will see as the sky is lit up with tons of colorful fireworks. There are personal firework displays one right after the other. The Casino puts on a firework display too. I saw the fireworks from a different vantage point this year...looking at the fireworks shooting off on the Beach behind the hotels (taken from the Downtown Golf Course area on Minard Ave). I was also able to get some great shots overseeing the ac
