Name/Age: Miriam Groesse
Where do you live: Pacific Beach
Profession/Day Job: Owner/Operator Beach Avenue Bed and Breakfast
Loyal to: Hyaks and tourism.
Best Harbor Moment: Chairing the sand castle and sculpture contest at Pacific Beach for the last 10 years. Making donuts for the Kelper's parade on Labor Day weekend. It's so great to see the same people year after year, coming to see and enjoy our wonderful beaches.
Favorite coffee stand: My own. I do lattes for guests, but if I go out it's Emily's on Main Street in Pacific Beach.
Favorite local business: Beach Avenue Bed and Breakfast. The house belonged to Josiah Stearns and he used it as his beach house. He built it in 1905. Stearns was a partner in the Simpson Lumber Company and owned the water company in Hoquiam. We have lived here since 1988 and have done work to keep the house in historical shape and yet livable in these modern times.
Grunge, Metal or Country: Classic rock on KXPB radio 89.1 in Pacific Beach, Moclips, Seabrook, Aloha and points beyond.
Beach, forest or river: Pacific Beach to Moclips has the best beaches anywhere. Quiet, peaceful, clean.
Favorite outdoor adventure or day trip: Long walks on the beaches and a trip to the Museum of the North Beach and a hike at Lake Quinault.
Define the Harbor in one word: Unforgettable
If you could change one thing about the area, what would it be: Better shopping in Aberdeen and Hoquiam. It seems we lose great stores every year, the South Shore Mall is empty.
Grays Harbor's best kept secret: Our Northern Coast; Pacific Beach, Seabrook and Moclips.
