Olalla - The place where
fresh and saltwater meet and blend
|
"We are one race, mankind. We must view all people as assets, having purposes, to be challenged, developed, fulfilled, and deployed. Our noblest visions and highest ideals must take form and become substance in our lives as we share this earth with one another. Let no one be denied this hope. Let us commit our wills collectively-to making this so."

the deed to Old Man House Park from Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission officials
at a joyous and tearful ceremony. The park has never looked more beautiful than it did filled with people from the tribe whose ancestral village was sited there.
