Every evening that the weather is clear, every parking space on the upper level of Richmond Beach Saltwater Park fills. The cars are all backed into the parking spaces, facing the water.

People sit silently in their cars, most holding a cup of coffee. They watch the sun set over the water and the Olympic Mountains, and then they leave.

It's a soul-healing moment of peace and spirituality.
