History of Richmond Beach, Washington | Where the Trains Still Follow the Sea

History of Richmond Beach, Washington—a place where the railroad, the shoreline, and generations of local life continue to meet. The arrival of the railroad in 1891 helped transform Richmond Beach into a small waterfront community of workers, farms, businesses, and homes. The land that became Richmond Beach Saltwater Park was later shaped by industry before being reclaimed as a public place overlooking Puget Sound. Today, trains still follow the water beneath the hillside while the Olympic Mountains rise across the Sound. From a quiet tree above the park to the tracks and beach below, this cinematic drone documentary explores how time can change a landscape without completely erasing its past. 📍 Richmond Beach Saltwater Park 2021 NW 190th Street Shoreline, WA 98177 Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?a...
