Granite Falls, WA, May 14, 2025, Open Thread

A shot of the falls the town is named for.
    

         I decided to go take a look at Granite Falls yesterday. It had been a while since I had been there, and since it is a famous Sasquatch hot spot, I was curious to know how it felt to be there again.
            There was a lot more traffic than I remember. It used to be very remote. Not so much now.

            This is downtown, very workaday little place quite near many forests and fields. Outside of town there are more than enough hidden brushy areas for him to inhabit.
            We didn't get many photos. It was not a particularly photogenic day. The allover impression was of new foliage, so green that it almost looked chartreuse, contrasted against the grey of the sky and the pavement.
            I think I would like to go on a Sunday morning and explore outside of town when there isn't so much traffic buzzing around.
            So this is my little report. 🌸
