Port St. Helena

Port St. Helena, Oregon, is a small coastal town about a hundred and thirty miles from Portland. The town grew up around Yaquina Bay over the past hundred and fifty or so years. It's got a respectable population, a decent smattering of industries (most of which, admittedly, are related to getting things out of the sea), an excellent aquarium, and a state university-sponsored marine science center. It also has an extremely peculiar cove or two along the sides of Yaquina Bay, and it was in one of said coves that the Port St. Helena police discovered two miscreants, tied up with kelp.

Naturally, Ray is pointing all of this out to Jhalak as they head into town.
