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.

A wise woman once told me “Baby, you’re a firework”, so no need to risk a wildfire start, I guess I will be heading to the mirror for the fireworks show this weekend and leave myself in awe, awe, awe
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.
For that first real heat wave it’s important to remember: water in you- good and hydrating you in water- cold and hypothermic
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)

Not fight or flight, but a secret third thing where you panic and overshare the importance of studying up on our five stratovolcanoes and knowing if you are in a volcano hazard zone
Did you know our state has five active volcanoes? Congrats. You are now part of volcano awareness month. There’s lots of events this month, both in-person and online hosted by USGS, us, Pierce County, State Parks & others. Find details in the link: mil.wa.gov/news/volcano...

There are few feelings as terrifying as realizing how many of you are pronouncing "geoduck" incorrectly.
I’m not saying there is a “best way” to celebrate Earth Day, actually I am, and this map made by our geologists is it
Dark side of the moon has now become the brightest part of my day ❤️
"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.
When the hikers leave a trace despite your entire existence spent telling them not to
Friday the 13th...and it's snowing... Not sure what kind of weird magic is going on but our mountain snowpack is here for it
I may have a lot of regrets in life, but showing up prepared for a hike isn't one of them
What if the Seahawks are really a million geoducks in a trench coat?
How sweet, someone left an early Valentine's Day note for one of our foresters 😍

When we say "yield to horses" on the trail, this is what we actually mean
Ya know, I thought a sunset past 5pm would fix everything...yet here we are...
For years science has proven that nature is better than any and every past relationship, but now a stick, yes the lowly stick, has come to rise above them all.
Craters so beautiful, haters will say it's AI
✨ The mud expert has spoken✨ With recent wet weather, trails may have mud, puddles, and exposed roots. Please come prepared for these conditions, stay on the trail, and leave no trace.
Do you have an inbox that's feeling overwhelming? Hit 'em with a "Let's circle back in the New Year", which gives you... 1. an air of mystery 2. the ol' razzle dazzle 3. plenty of time to get lost in the woods and never turn back
It’s winter. The air is cold. The synths are very moody. And yes, you still need to hydrate.
So THIS is what they mean by Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree....right?
Pineapple is terrible on pizza, but even worse on an Express currently hitting Washington
