**What's the most haunted place in Grays Harbor?**

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for locations around Grays Harbor with a reputation for paranormal activity or unexplained experiences. Not the obvious tourist spots—I’m more interested in the places locals know about.

Old roads, forests, cemeteries, abandoned buildings, murder sites, forgotten history—anything with a story behind it.

If you've had a personal experience or know a local legend, I'd love to hear it.

10 Upvotes

Open Table One Shot!

Friday, July 24th starting at 6pm. Hard exit time of 10pm.

Kaleidoscope Coffee and Boba, Elma WA.

Open to 16 and older who have an understanding of the system.

This one-shot is set in the grand expanses of the starry void, designed for compatibility with the latest 2024 revision of the world's most popular 5.5e roleplaying system. NOTE: This is the 2nd run of the same adventure played on the 17th.

This is a mystery adventure along a peaceful migration route protecting majestic cosmic whales. There will be plenty to explore, treasure to loot, and challenges to survive. There are minor scenes of horror, but they are not the primary focus of what you will experience.

Pregenerated characters optimized for this adventure will be handed out to the group. You are welcome to use whatever digital tools you like, but you must have your own physical dice.

This is a free and open event, but since the venue is being provided for us at no cost, please treat yourself to something to help show some gratitude to the owner.

AND, I have chocolate.

Calling on the Community for Help

13 Upvotes

This is something of a hail mary, but I think we’re at that point where it’s worth the shot. If anyone in the community can help, much appreciated.

I have a relative who moved to the area over a year ago to carve out a better life for herself and her kids. She’s an equipment operator by trade, with most of her experience being in quarry settings and a bit in oil rig settings. Since being here, she has endlessly applied for jobs both in and out of her field. As is the case for so many people right now, the vast majority of her applications go unacknowledged, even for roles she’s obviously qualified for.

I’ve looked over her resume and cover letters, and I don’t think they’re the issue (assuming real people are reviewing them and she’s not losing to an algorithm). I have no idea how to help. She has solid work ethic, even when working graveyard shifts as a single parent, and genuinely loves her field. She just needs someone to give her a foot in a door here. As of now, her employment gap in the field just keeps growing, week by week, and she’s working a part time job get by.

If anyone in here can point us in a direction for an opening or company to look into that maybe we haven’t thought of yet, you’d have the our deepest gratitude. It’s rough out there in the job market, but surely there has to be SOME way to get this woman back into her trade.

Hello, moving to the area for work. Friend is offering to let me borrow their Tiny Home so I can rent a lot in a mobile home park close to work in Aberdeen, save money for my first year in GH.

Can anyone provide insight into what living at Linkshire Park in Central Park is like? Is it quiet? Safe? Etc? Are there other mobile home parks you recommend?

My husband was having a medical issue yesterday on the side of 107. A kind couple stopped to help before the ambulance arrived, husband and wife I think. They had a tan colored Subaru (?) with a business logo on the side, from the area. The woman used to be a nurse, had bright blue manicure, and they left some blankets from their car with us. Any ideas how we could find them or thoughts on who they might be?

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2984367428574199&id=116328972044740

Hi everyone, I don’t know if this is the place for this but, I’m hoping anyone who sees this post will help us find our cat Eric. He‘s been missing since June 20th Saturday, he was last seen at 5pm outside of Maple St and O St near Delta Park (The Veteran statue) in Hoquiam, WA.

He was wearing a white onesie with orange carrot decals. He’s 20 years old so he‘s incredibly vulnerable on his own, he is an indoor cat. Please refer to the QR code for the facebook ad regarding him and give a call to the number on the flyer even if you see him. Thank you everyone! You can also message me on here as well.

Edit: Some things worth mentioning, he will come to you if you call his name. I will also attach a picture of the onesie he’s wearing. Added the facebook link to the ad, please respond there if you see him. Thank you for the support!

Mark your calendars for the free Quinault Rainforest Mushroom Festival on October 3rd.

20 Upvotes

Website: https://www.shoresandspores.com/qrmushfest

Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/qrmushfest

The Quinault Rainforest Mushroom Festival is a free, family-friendly event held each fall at Lake Quinault School in Amanda Park. This year is on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It's basically a full day devoted to mushrooms, tucked into one of the most impressive temperate rain forests on the planet.

You don't need to know a chanterelle from a shoelace to have a good time either. The festival is just as welcoming to curious first timers as it is to die-hard foragers. The day includes guest speakers, hands on workshops and classes, and guided forays where you head out into the woods to hunt for fungi, plus a vendor market stocked with local artisans, craft makers, and food. There's also a Kids Zone this year with crafts and activities, raffle prizes up for grabs, and if a full day of mushfest isn't enough for you, a VIP dinner the historic Lake Quinault Lodge with keynote speaker Noah Siegel the night before.

The whole thing is put on by the Coastal Shores and Spores Mycological Society, an all-volunteer mushroom club based in Ocean Shores.

Fog pooled deeply between the ridges, spreading outward like a quiet inland sea. In autumn, the Olympic Peninsula often reveals these layered moments, where land rises and disappears within drifting clouds.

I have a textbook for MATH 60 at GHC. It has some wear and tear and some pages my cat decided looked tasty, but it's still fully usable. $25 OBO, guaranteed cheaper than the bookstore

Someone asked what it’s really like living in Aberdeen. From “absolutely beautiful” to “depression and decay,” locals didn’t hold back.

In Aberdeen, I'm using T-Mobile for my phone and wireless internet. The wireless is consistently so slow as to be ridiculous. Can anyone recommend something better?

Any reason for constant tailgating around here?!

1 Upvotes

Hello! I moved to Aberdeen a few years ago and work in Olympia, take those drives a lot and sometimes at night.

I’ve driven down highways in the whole country except New England, but for some reason there is an obsession with riding my ass even though I may be speeding, with a whole lane to pass me by on the left.

Consistently always tailgating in the right lane.

I hate brake checking, but it the only way to make clueless drivers from pointlessly slowing down their own drives. It feels good when I slow em down for them to have to think hard enough to overtake like a normal human. Then not riding their ass to rub it in their face

Anyone else feel like there’s dumb drivers that love blinding you as you drive? Seriously thought Seattle drivers where dogshit until I moved here

Public hangout places to play video games with people?

I'm 20, a bit of an introvert, and like playing retro games. Is there anywhere like-minded gamers hangout to play games? I'm trying to make some new friends, meet new people, and overall step out of my comfort zone.

My husband and brother are looking for people to play Magic the Gathering with. They're casual players and play Commander. They need a third, but they'd love to find multiple people who are interested in playing.

Thanks for reading!

Hi all, I don't know how many people in this thread actually go to GHC but I was planning on taking a class this summer quarter (online) and I was wondering what classes you guys thought were easy to pass. I need either business, accounting, education, or a human services class.
