Right, but what if, and hear me out, what if going to see the salmon swim upstream fixes all of our problems?

Admin is possibly losing their mind because they said they could hear the urban trees throwing shade…🤷

Trees lining the streets of Downtown Cashmere are casting shade, AND throwing some shade by saying "Oh so just because it feels 20 degrees cooler, you think you are cool now?", "Birch please", "I make oxygen, help filter water, AND help you stay cool…what has your contribution been today?", and "Looks like I am the only neighbor that gets better with age"

Please stop flying your personal drones over wildfires. They can ground or collide with our firefighting aircraft, disrupting time critical firefighting and threatening people’s homes. Your photos are not worth someone’s home. If you fly, we can’t.

Just three days into August, this is already the most challenging, devastating fire season our state has experienced in years. Our hearts are with the people all over our state who have had their lives turned upside-down by these disastrous wildfires.

The trails and trailheads at Mount Si, Little Si, and Mount Teneriffe are closed until 0800 June 18, 2026 due to bear activity. Thanks to our colleagues at the Department of Fish and Wildlife and King County Search and Rescue for coordinating the response and safety of recreators in the area.

Go big or go home does not apply to burning yard debris...go small I am begging you (after you check your local burn restrictions and make sure you have plenty of water nearby)

"That one looks like a dog" "That one looks like ice cream" "That one looks like it cares about wildfire prevention"

A beautiful blue sky, with clouds that somehow resemble the words "Don't set the state on fire" and, miraculously happy little clouds AND a rainbow appeared too. Nature is beautiful.

"I want to sincerely apologize for my behavior through the years when I yell, scream, and just unleash rage while you try to enjoy the outdoors. I realize that my anger caused you to be fearful of my trails, and I deeply regret causing you that pain" says Raging River in their apology letter.

We’re seeing the potential for coastal flooding today and Thursday due to what’s commonly called “King Tides” in combination with storm events. If you see a flooded road, don’t risk your it vehicle. Try a different route. Don’t make an emergency worse for our busy first responders. #wawx

Graphic, in general, says: Costal flood hazards possible due to high tide flooding, compound flooding and beach erosion. Never drive through flooded roads. Respect barriers and road closed signs.

And, baby, that's showfish business for you ✨ That's right, this (not so Swift) star might be dressed for a new era, but has been hard at work for years helping us generate millions for restoring aquatic lands all over Washington. dnr.wa.gov/aquatics/she...

A stunning album cover with the words "The Life of a Showfish" in orange glittery letters. The album also features a geoduck, semi-submerged in water wearing a bedazzled top and looking their best in Washington's waters.

On the back cover, the geoduck is wearing a new bedazzled top, and a Vegas-showgirl styled headdress, with large orange feathers imitating their natural siphon process. The list of songs is 1. The Fate of Ceviche, 2. Elizabeth Taylor, 3. Pearl, 4. Father Figure, 5. Largest Mollusk, 6. Ruin The Conference Bannquet Table, 7. Actually Romantic, 8. WA Wi$h Li$t, 9. Wood, 10. CENSORED!, 11. Siphon, 12. The Life of a Showfish (Feat. Sabrina Carpenter Ant).
