Gabel Started In Astoria

Astoria is a town that is very attentive to honoring its history and what a proud history it has. 
In its downtown, there is a plaque honoring a theater where iconic actor, Clark Gable made his acting debut.
Gabel was not a native of the Northwest or is particularly associated with the area. It is still a fact that the town can be a source of pride to the town.

Fort Stevens Shipwreck

This is what's left of the Peter Iredale, which went aground in 1906.  
It is in Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria, Oregon.
It is a great attraction for visitors.

Seahawks Win Opener

The team looked flat to me. Too much celebration, of the Superbowl victory and maybe, the starters sitting out during the three exhibition games.  Quarterback Sam Darnold was injured in the team's first offensive series.
Nonetheless, the Seahawks were able to eak out a 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots to open the 2026 NFL season.
We watched the game from The Times, the repurposed old theater in Seaside, Oregon.
