Nineteen Eighty-Four, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel by English author George Orwell published in 1949. The novel is set in Airstrip One (formerly known as Great Britain), a province of the superstate Oceania in a world of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation, dictated by a political system euphemistically named English Socialism (or Ingsoc in the government’s invented language, Newspeak) under the control of a privileged elite of the Inner Party, that persecutes individualism and independent thinking as “thoughtcrime”

Picnic Point Park doesn’t have any established trails per se, but the scenery here is delightful, and at low tide, it is possible to hike 1.5 miles to Meadowdale Beach, or 5 miles north to Point Elliot at Mukilteo, depending on how fast you hike.
