Show Notes
Washington States beloved outdoor spots face potential closures due to budget cuts, threatening hiking, biking, and off-road activities. The Department of Natural Resources struggles with staff shortages, leaving just sixty field staff to manage thousands of acres and hundreds of thousands of users. The governors proposed budget slashes maintenance funds, with remote or high-traffic sites likely to see reductions first. Popular spots like Snoqualmie area trails, Reiter Foothills State Forest, and campgrounds such as Bear Creek in Clallam County or Chopaka Lake in Okanogan County could be affected. Officials urge more funding to prevent widespread closures.
