Grandview Heights Aquatic Center is more about swimming and exercise machines than pathways, but it provides at least a mile of walkways surrounding a beautiful sculpture titled Circulation. It is inspired by themes of water movement, transitions, and the human relationship to water as an essential element of life. A vessel containing an Irish blessing was left on a bench in front of this sculpture.

A Hawiian blessing was placed on a table along the promenade in White Rock B.C. The 470-metre-long White Rock Pier is a major attraction in White Rock, and is a destination filled with family memories, walks on the beach and fish and chips. This unique wood construction was built in 1914 and underwent restoration in 1977. In December 2018, it was torn in half during a winter storm and was repaired in time for a summer reopening in 2019.

Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve features 54 acres of forest, bluff and beach, with an ADA accessible trail to spectacular viewpoints of the Strait of Georgia and San Juan Islands. A switchback path descends from the bluff to access the windswept beach below and is easy to navigate. A Hawiian blessing was left near the shoe brush area close to the entrance.

A blacktop trail with some gravel and dirt sections that meanders along The Columbia River in the City of Richland is the location of our Native American blessing vessel. The trail is seven miles in length with many benches along the way to stop and take a breather and soak up the beauty of the fast-moving Columbia.

This gorgeous 745-acre park offers everything a family could want including hiking, biking, swimming and for some industrious families, golfing at a pretty reasonable price. The hiking trails are moderate to easy and the whole family can enjoy circumventing the lovely lake surrounded by a forest and boasting a diversity of wildlife.

A fisherman vessel was left along a trail in Semiahmoo Park. This is a Whatcom County Park located along Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbor. A cannery museum is located nearby, and it is an interesting place to visit. The paved trails run along the long stretches of beach with scatterings of picnic tables. Hopefully, someone will find the vessel and report the find soon!

Blaine Marine Park runs along the waterfront. Many people walk in this area and we hope someone finds the shamrock vessel along the pathway. The views are lovely as one navigates the many paths throughout the space. It has picnic shelters, birdwatching areas, a playground and restrooms. Two miles of trails lead to a pier where Semiahmoo Bay, Point Roberts, the San Juan Islands, and White Rock B.C. are visible just across Boundary Bay.
