- Leque Island Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Leque Island Unit consists of wetlands and tidal marsh habitat. This is a popular site for waterfowl hunting, wildlife observation and photography, and walking. The habitat provides areas for wildlife ranging from waterfowl, mammals, raptors, and passerine birds.
Of the gladest moments in human life, methinks is the departure upon a distant journey to unknown lands.

The blood flows with the fast circulation of childhood….afresh dawns the morn of life…
