How do you feel about the parking situation downtown?
“We walk every-
where, and take
the stroller every-
where. The few times
we’ve taken a car, I’ve
always been able to park
in front of where I want to go.”

LONG BEACH, Wash.
— A mature whale washed
ashore last week near Lead-
better Point on the north-
ern end of the Long Beach
Peninsula.
Researchers conducted
a necropsy of the whale on
Thursday .
According to local resi-
dent Nellie Hux, who pho-
tographed the personnel
from Portland State Uni-
versity and the Casca-
dia Research Cooperative,
the older female probably
washed up alive.
There were no visible
signs of trauma as some-
times occurs when whales
are struck by large ocean-
going ships. Its stom-
ach was empty and con-
tained no plastic debris.
There was no sign it had
recently given birth or was
lactating.
“Just her time to go,”
Hux said.
Observing the nec-
ropsy was “sad, interest-
ing and very graphic … a
great educational lesson for
these students and me.”
