Re: Great White Shark at Ocean Shores
The only recorded shark attack on a human by a Great White occurred at Pacific Beach in 1989, just a few miles North of Ocean Shores. The victim was a surfer, and the attack was not fatal.
I first found mention of the attack while perusing the International Shark Attack File, but here is another link that describes the incident. You'll need to scroll down to see the part about the Washington attack at Pacific Beach.

Strange that the shark went to all the trouble to catch the seal and bite its tail off, but then didn't finish eating it.
I'm worried about the shark. Maybe it's not feeling well? Poor guy.
