- Bone River Natural Area Preserve (dnr.wa.gov)
This 2,800 acre preserve contains the finest salt marshes remaining in Willapa Bay, and includes tideflats, sloughs, freshwater streams, freshwater wetlands and conifer forests. The preserve provides critically important waterfowl habitat, supports the federally-threatened marbled murrelet and state sensitive bald eagle, and hosts runs of steelhead and coho salmon.
- Soviet Union (Wikipedia)
The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a transcontinental country that spanned much of Eurasia from 1922 to 1991. It was a successor state to the Russian Empire that was nominally organized as a federal union of fifteen national republics, the largest and most populous of which was the Russian SFSR; in practice both its government and economy were highly centralized until its final years. As a one-party state governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it was a flagship communist state.
