Wednesday Night Race at SeaTac Draws Record Crowd!
Racers, hucksters, and riders of all breeds came out to last night’s (6/24) Wednesday Night Race Series at South SeaTac to show their support for the trail system and flowpark out there which is partially being threatened by the proposed SCORE jail facility. Local race organizer Wick put on a great show and helped show staff from the cities of SeaTac and Des Moines what the trail system means to the local riding community. Video Here.

Tiger Mountain Trail Status Update
June 5th Update: NW Timber Trail is re-opened, but be aware that road construction is still underway for the ‘Cougit’ timber sale with heavy equipment traffic. Look both ways before crossing the new road that has been constructed across the NW Timber Trail.

Previous Update:
The Cougit timber harvest has officially begun and road construction will be under way shortly. The DNR anticipates that the road construction will only affect the NW Timber Trail through mid June but should then be re-opened for the rest of the season. Reroutes will divert traffic shortly after entering NW Timber to the power line road. The timber harvest, at this point, is being forecast for next summer. Preston and Iverson will not be affected. Please be sure to follow all trail closure signs, obey reroutes, and be especially careful when riding fire roads as construction vehicles will be utilizing these during the road construction process. Thank you.


St. Helens Advisory Board Recommendation
A 14-member advisory committee (appointed by Senator Maria Cantwell) spent more than a year exploring a proposal to change the status of Mt. St. Helens from a National Monument (managed by the Forest Service) to a National Park (managed by the NPS). The committee last month issued a draft recommendation (pdf) against making Mount St. Helens the state's fourth national park property. Instead, the committee said, the property should receive funding under a mandatory line item within the Forest Service budget.
