The PNW Region of the Forest Service will be waiving recreation fees at most day-use sites on lands managed by the agency on September 23, 2023, in honor of National Public Lands Day. Waiving fees creates an opportunity for everyone to get outside & enjoy these special places.

A baby octopus hides in the seaweed at Yaquina Head! 🐙

He may be small, but he's got a lot of heart. We mean that literally. He has three hearts.

Please remember Yaquina Head is a protected and fragile natural area! Tread lightly and take only pictures. ❤

[Puget Sound Energy @PSETalk]

Smoke, brush fires, & road closures have made areas difficult to reach, particularly in @PierceCo . There is extensive tree related damage at our Bonney Lake substation. With unsafe conditions & our COVID-19 response protocols in place, some outages may take longer to restore.

This means US 2 is fully open. We have 5 full closures:
US 97 Brewster to Omak
SR 821 Ellensburg to Selah
SR 173 Bridgeport

Trees are being found along Skate Creek Rd hacked at with a hatchet. This damage kills the tree, which can make it a hazard to visitors and it may have to be eventually removed. Please remember to #RecreateResponsibly and do your part to keep our forests safe and healthy.

[Forest Service NW @ForestServiceNW]

With hot, dry conditions in the forecast & an increase in visitors traveling for #LaborDay #weekend please know where #campfires are allowed & never leave them unattended. Don't be that spark that could lead to a tragedy! #OnlyYou

[Olympic National Forest @olympicforest]

Pets are welcome at @olympicforest under control or on a leash. In developed rec areas: trailheads, campgrounds & busy trails pets must be on a leash. Saddle, pack or draft animals are allowed in authorized areas. Pack out all poop bags! Alert: Pets are restricted at @OlympicNP

[Discover Washington @Discover_Wa]

Be smart where you park! 😉

[Forest Service NW @ForestServiceNW]

If your Plan A trailhead is full, have a Plan B ready. Help save a life! Roads lined with cars on both sides make it so emergency vehicles can’t get through when accidents strike. We are ticketing & towing vehicles that would block access for emergency crews #RecreateResponsibly

[Gifford Pinchot National Forest @GPNF]

⚡️ Firefighters often close an area when a lightning fire is in the vicinity. Burning trees quickly become a hazard. This tree was struck in 2019 at @GPNF & temporarily closed a trail system. 🔥 If you find a fire, report it to Columbia Dispatch [phone] or dial 911.📞
