Scope and content
- View of headland and rock formations off of First Beach on the northern Washington coast. La Push is a Quileute Indian village on the Olympic Peninsula located at the mouth of the Quileute River. The name "La Push" is a Chinook variation of the French "La Bouch", meaning mouth. The Quileute lineage stretches back to the Ice Age, and they are known for their fishing and whaling skills. The view in the photo is taken from what is now the Ocean Park Resort, located directly above this beach.
