EDMONDS — Anemones, sea stars and crabs lay exposed at low tide on winter nights along the shores of Edmonds’ waterfront parks.
Next week, visitors and local guides can explore one of Edmonds’ intertidal zones and search for these creatures among rocks, sand and tide pools.
Volunteers with the city of Edmonds and the Snohomish County Beach Watchers will lead a Starlight Beach Walk from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 6 at Olympic Beach.
Visitors should meet at the Olympic Beach Visitor Station at 200 Admiral Way, where the group will depart for the walk together.
Guides will identify plant and animal species the group encounters during the walk and explain creatures’ roles in the local marine ecosystem.
Event leaders plan to still hold the event if it rains. They advise attendees to wear rubber boots. Bring a flashlight or a headlamp.
The event is free, and visitors are not required to register beforehand.
