Much of western Washington's recent geology has been dominated by giant ice sheets stretching from the Canadian Rockies to central Washington. This ice gouged out the Salish Sea, Puget Sound, and carved up the rest of the landscape. Port Townsend sits on a peninsula made up of the junk giant glaciers left behind. This is typically sandstone, gravel, and mud but weird stuff starts happening when the giant glacier meets the ocean and starts to melt. There's lots of cool geology in Port Townsend, once you know where to look!

Been seeing that tattoo post around and I'm guessing most of y'all are too white to chime in, so:
Filipino here. I'm not of the cultures that practice tattoos (it was lost to a large part of the country), I'm Tagalog. Closest I could ask about the tattoos was a Cordilleran, which is at least in the same region.
Symbolic tattoos have to look exactly the same to matter. In the example given (the triangles and lines, going around the collar), the tattoos look similar. But not the same, not really. Maybe combining the patterns is part of the culture and that's what they're seeing, but it wasn't clear from the example.
Judkins didn't mention if their artist was indegenous. But Filipinos aren't the only indigenous peoples who used tattoos with geometric patterns (imo the patterns aren't what's too similar, it's the placement on the body). Could be the artist was Filipino, another ethnicity, or white and geometric patterns are just coincidental. Maybe they should've asked before getting worked up.

It is even difficult to get a single glimpse of the Cordillera: during our first visit, once only the volcano of Osorno stood out in bold relief, and that was before sunrise; it was curious to watch, as the sun rose, the outline gradually fading away in the glare of the eastern sky.

Climb a tree with a Brown-tailed dwarf cloud rat! It can be found in the Central Cordillera, where it is likely active at night or nocturnal, and lives most of its life in the trees (Heaney, Balete, et al. 2016).
It also has an extinct larger cousin, whose remains were found in the infamous Callao Cave complex (J Ochoa et al., 2021), where fossils of ancient humans were previously found.
