Run for the Light! A Run/Walk in Westport, WA on Aug. 5, 2006 

"Run for the Light!" On August 5, 2006, WLA hosted a Fun Run/Walk in the beautiful coastal town of Westport. The scenic course started and finished at the historic Westport Maritime Museum over-looking Grays Harbor. Runners and walkers traveled the paved Westport Dune Trail along the Pacific Ocean through the State Park. The unique course passed the 1898 Grays Harbor Lighthouse and finished next to the museum lens exhibit building – home of the magnificent 1st Order Destruction Island Lighthouse Lens.
