Jan 22, 2009: Union Oyster Shack

As we watch our shiny-new shucking and retail facility grow bigger and better every day, we thought we'd take a moment to honor the small, funky, and frequently dilapidated oyster shacks that line Hood Canal's beaches. The first building featured in this series is the Union oyster shack, located at the mouth of the Skokomish River. We're guessing it's been a while since any oysters were shucked in this building, which is currently abandoned, but has been used in the past as an art gallery. We took these photos on an oyster-colored day.

This empty building may have the best view on the Canal.
