Interview with Hi-Tide guest Michael Muller and his stay at Hi-Tide Resort on Moclips Beach Washington State

For 33 years, Michael Muller, from Edmonds, worked for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. So naturally, when he wants to take a weekend away, he heads out to the coast.

Visiting Moclips for the first time, he came to Hi-Tide Resort in October 2023, hoping to avoid the crowds but still have the great weather the coast can provide.

------

Hi-Tide: What brought you out to the coast?

Michael: I wanted to visit with friends in the area. I saw Hi-Tide was there, and I could bring my Husky/Malamute mix, Yuka. I was debating about going to Lake Cushman or the coast, and I decided I wanted to get Yuka out to the ocean.

Hi-Tide: What did you do while you stayed with us?

Michael: We did a lot of exploring of the area. We also enjoyed the solitude and quiet of the beach. Yuka was a busybody on the dunes. At night, I loved looking up at the stars and I could see the crabbers with their lights on way out in the water. The weather was perfect, since it was the tail end of summer and it was still warm.

Hi-Tide: Were you upset there was no razor clamming during your visit?

Michael: No. It’s hard to keep track of Yuka and dig for clams at the same time. I talked to other people at the resort about it and liked that there was a cleaning station right there for people to use. Not many places have that.

Razor clams are one of my favorites, though. I stopped at Duffy’s in Aberdeen on my way out to the coast. They were some of the best razor clams I’ve had.

Hi-Tide: What was the best part about your stay?

Michael: On our first day there I discovered that Yuka would not go up the stairs. I had to carry her the few tries we went up those stairs. I called the front desk and Jerry there was able to get us moved to a ground floor unit within an hour of my phone call.

Hi-Tide: Would you come back to Hi-Tide?

Michael: Absolutely! I’d like to come back at about the same time of year later this year. I’d like to take my daughter and granddaughter, and Yuka’s littermate Kavic.

Eloise Rocks Out at Hi-Tide Resort

No one knows exactly how it all got started. Maybe it is a myth.

The dreamy story goes like this. Long ago a young guest brought along a painting set to the beach.

The plan was to create a Vincent Van Gogh worthy painting of the sundown just as the mythical magical but very real great green flash that winks when the sun disappears completely. And just for a second.

Her name was not recorded at the time, but for now we have come to call her "Eloise". There is no record of whether she successfully caught and depicted the momentous moment. But it is something that can be frequently be seen year round from the condos at Hi-Tide.

After wandering the beach, exploring the Moclips River and digging a full limit of Razor Clams , Eloise decided to use her leftover paint to leave a message and art on a small round river rock.

The portrait of her dog, who had accompanied her to HI-Tide, included the dog's name "Picasso" and these lovely words, "I love it here. I will be back."

She placed the rock gently into a flower bed just outside the entrance to the resort office. What happened next started slowly but has grown to become a must-do activity for visitors from all over the world.

Travelers journey to Moclips Beach, staying at our lovely Hi-Tide Resort , and enjoying the very same peace and quiet and stunning beauty of the North Beaches of Washington State.

Some stay for just a few days. Others stay for a week or two or longer. But before they leave, they can ask for paint and a brush with directions were to find a suitable rock on which to paint their message for posterity.

Today, the gardens of HI-Tide Resort are filled with painted rocks and messages of love and life. Better yet, most visitors return year after year. To paint a new rock or to touch-up those which have graced the gardens for decades.

You are invited to make your own memory here and rock out at Hi-Tide.
