Course
The Big River originates in the northwestern portion of Olympic Peninsula and flows generally south and west. Its source is near Sekiu Mountain, close to the source of the South Fork Sekiu River. The Big River flows south, collects the tributary Boe Creek, then flows southwest by the small town of Royal. It collects Solberg Creek, Trout Creek, and Durham Creek before entering Olympic National Park and emptying into Swan Bay, part of Ozette Lake. The lake's outlet, the Ozette River, empties into the Pacific Ocean.[2]

gollark: The description on the Amazon page I found implies they do the opposite thing.
gollark: It's not like it's busy and active every minute of the day or something.
gollark: It would make sense for multiple choice. But with just five questions that's an impractical amount of multiple choices.
gollark: Put in "I'm very lucky, or you wouldn't have picked up this resume in the first place".
