Why are WA State school districts proposing layoffs and budget cuts?

You can only make it to Coldwater lake per WA DOT.

The winter visitor center info (Only open Saturday/Sunday):

https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/giffordpinchot/recarea/?recid=40401

Thursday, Nov. 10, until further notice: Both directions of SR 504 at milepost 49.0 near Coldwater Creek, are closed for the winter. This closure includes the portion of road that leads to the Johnston Ridge Observatory, which is also closed for the winter. The lower portion of SR 504 at Coldwater Lake will remain open as weather conditions allow. Please check road conditions before you travel.

Note: Crews will reopen SR 504 in spring 2023, once the threat of significant snowfall has passed.

Sunscreen. I cannot recommend this highly enough. I climbed it back in 1992, and the sun just BEATS on the snow, and I had the mother of all sunburns.

The bill is already dead this legislative session, home grow in WA state is still a felony and will be for at least the next 3 years.

The Blue Mountains are incredibly beautiful and a great place to visit. I enjoy every trip to the southeastern corner of our state.

Really? I thought WA state allowed private consumption of a certain amount of plants.

Edit: I was wrong. Crazy. But there is a bill coming up that looks to pass this.

I went in January 2021 and had a great time. No hiking for me, but still plenty of photo opportunities. Views of the mountain are still there, you just can't get all the way up to the closest viewpoint at the visitor center. Coldwater Lake is nice too. Here's some pictures.

Watching out for rattlesnakes isn't something I worry about in the Seattle area.

I went over to the Wild Horse Wind Farm viewpoint, between Ellensburg and the gorge. I'll have to go back some day with a real camera and long lens...
