Meet at 7:30 AM at the Quil Ceda Village Walmart lot west of Marysville (I-5 exit 200) to carpool to Stanwood. Park away from the store to the east near Quil Ceda Blvd. (next to I-5). Organize into carpools and drive to meet the leader at Hamilton Landing Park in Stanwood at 26810 98th Ave NW (near the Hamilton Smokestack). OR go directly to Hamilton Landing Park and meet the group there at 8:00 AM. We will check out the sewage treatment ponds from the new Port Susan Trail and then head onto Camano to explore hotspots, and end with a walk at Leque Island. Pack a lunch and dress for the weather.
