Oakville is a city in Grays Harbor County, Washington, United States. The population was 684 at the 2010 census.HistoryOakville was officially incorporated on December 18, 1905."Clear Blobs" incidentOn August 7, 1994 during a rainstorm, blobs of a translucent gelatinous substance, each half the size of grains of rice, fell at the farmhouse of Sunny Barclift. Shortly afterwards, Barclift's mother, Dotty Hearn, was rushed to the hospital suffering from dizziness and nausea, and Barclift and a friend also suffered minor bouts of fatigue and nausea after handling the blobs. However, Dr. David Litle, who treated Hearn, expressed doubt that Hearn's symptoms were due to the blobs, and appeared instead to have been caused by an inner ear condition. Hearn herself also acknowledged that the appearance the blobs could have been a mere coincidence unconnected with their maladies. It was also reported that Sunny's kitten had died after contact with the blobs, following a battle with severe intestinal problems prior to the incident. The blobs were confirmed to have fallen a second time at the Barclift farm, but no one was reported to have fallen ill the second time.Several attempts were made to identify the blobs, with Barclift initially asking her mother's doctor to run tests on the substance at the hospital. Litle obliged, and reported that it contained human white blood cells. Barclift also managed to persuade Mike Osweiler, of the Washington State Department of Ecology's hazardous materials spill response unit, to examine the substance. While white blood cells contain nuclei, further examination by Osweiler's staff reported that the blobs contained cells that lacked this cellular structure.
