It has been 26 years since someone has seen or heard of a great white shark along our Washington coast. But one has been confirmed lurking off of Ocean Shores recently.Beachgoers there spotted a seal that had been killed, and they notified authorities. The local wildlife officials sent the remains to experts in California and got word back that it was, in fact, a great white shark that had bitten the seal.

Since I have lived here, Ocean Shores and Mo Clips have become my home away from home. I have swum at least 40 yards out into the ocean. I might not do that anymore, but I cannot wait to go back to the coast. I would love to see that majestic shark in real life.
