Captured (Washington Parks): Fort Simcoe Historical State Park

Captured
Written By Nathan Box

Sure, it is called “The Evergreen State,” but Washington is much more than Douglas Firs and sweeping mountain vistas. It is varied in its beauty. No setting proves this point more profoundly than Washington’s parks. In this series, we will be showcasing Washington state via its protected and shared spaces. East or West, North or South, I hope you will agree that this place is special.

Be good to each other,

Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
