Beachcombing Around Bellingham, WAAnd Beyond!I love to go beachcombing around Bellingham! It makes me feel young again! My family have always found inexpensive ways to be entertained and beachcombing around Bellingham is definitely one of them. My grand daughter loves to comb the beach out at Semiahmoo. The first time she came up here to Bellingham, I took her and her mother and dad to Semiahmoo while the tide was low.
I just laughed! I knew exactly what happened... The "mid-westerners" found the clams! The clams will dig up through the sand and spit water at you and that is what alarmed them! It was too funny! You just really never know what you will find while scavenging the beaches when the tide is low. Things get washed up on shore or floats to the top of the waters and comes to dry land. Sea puppies, seals, star fish.... you just never know! Perhaps even some long lost treasure!? It's all exciting to me! It is one of the first things I did up here before I relocated to Bellingham! I was like a kid with candy, but I had a bag of sand dollars and shells! 
These pictures are of my son, Zac and his wife, Steph, with Zac's oldest daughter, Sierra. She comes to visit us during the summer's and absolutely loves to go beachcombing.
Who wouldn't? Even my husband joins in for the fun!

They ran down the beach to explore and "treasure hunt" and all of a sudden I heard a "screech!"
The show focuses on the work of beachcombers in the late 20th century in British Columbia whose job is to travel the coastline northwest of Vancouver tracking down logs that have broken away from logging barges, according to Wikipedia.
