Palm Beach on the Key Peninsula, Wasshington
Palms in gardens in the Pacific northwest are always a bit of a surprise. They just seem so out of place. This stand of palms is on the coast of Key Peninsula, part of the complex of inlets that make up of the southern end of the Salish Sea/Puget Sound.

The intent of this blog is to help all Washington travelers better understand the landscapes we see and share field observations.

There are palm trees native to Ireland. They are not just tropical plants.
