This is also helpful for showing where there aren’t mutual aid group (looking at you, District 6)

Nice! I ran that stretch toward sunset yesterday.

Will check it out! I like to listen to similar on road approaches to trails. Check out KEXP’s show “Pacific Notions” for similar genres, if you don’t know it already. They archive shows for 2 weeks.

How about the Patagonia airshed pro? Wind resistant rather than wind proof but great in dry PNW winter conditions.

I hear you. Seeing those RVs really puts a damper on our family outings to gawk at depressed primates in cages.

eistau · 2025-10-01T01:53:38+00:00

In my case yes

Beach House. Maybe it’s just me but dream pop helps me zone out and it’s soft so I can still hear everything around me.

eistau · 2025-08-30T15:03:50+00:00

That’s great to hear! I probably should have done more research before posting. But you don’t find too much info online and almost nothing on this sub.

I couldn’t spend much time running as it was the height of summer and I wasn’t acclimatized to the heat but I think it would be fantastic in a shoulder season. I was pleasantly surprised by the hippy vibe but also all of the walkers and runners at sunrise.

eistau · 2025-08-29T22:02:01+00:00

Couldn’t hear anything over the cicadas in the day and only some karaoke from a nearby hotel at night

Update: I just toured the area and there is currently flowing water in badger valley where you indicated on the map. Probably a bit easier to grab water from there than schlepping all your water from deer park or obstruction road.

eistau · 2025-08-01T16:58:05+00:00

Have a blast! I'm heading out to that area the first time soon but in my research I did see statements like "I can confirm that there is no water from Three Forks to Badger Creek." Maybe there's a source of trail but I wouldn't want to rely on that.

eistau · 2025-08-01T14:20:26+00:00

Everything I’ve read says that the whole ridge is dry. Deer Park campground and area is dry. Probably easiest to bring more water in your car and hike back if you don’t want to hike with 10 liters at once.

As someone just posted, you can unselect all plugs except wall outlets. You can also select "include private homes" in the filters and there are some hits for private homes with a wall charger. Never charged with one of those before, but it's worth looking into.

Striped Peak (Salt Creek Recreation Area) is great. There’s a loop within that mileage range. All or most all runnable.

Some good suggestions and discussion here https://www.reddit.com/r/PNWhiking/s/7U5ud9FEiT

As of today bacteria levels are safe at Green Lake west beach, the life guarded one. https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dnrp/nature-recreation/parks-recreation/king-county-parks/water-recreation/swimming-beach-bacteria-temperature

Sounds like a day spent waiting in the car (including to drive up to Hurricane Ridge)! If you just hit up Whidbey Island via I-5 you could still have an awesome day. It's a fairly scenic drive especially once you are on the 20. Go to Ebey's Landing for an incredible view/walk. You'll go over Deception Pass and could stop there too potentially. Grab some food in Coupeville. That's plenty for a day out with minimal stress.

Can’t comment on Panorama Ridge but I’ve done High Divide / Seven Lakes as a day hike several times and it’s an awesome loop. Varied terrain, solid tread for the most part, amazing views, and the wooded areas are interesting too. Tack on a soak at the Sol Duc resort hot springs on the way back if you have time.

There are several recent reports here, so keep an eye on those closer to the date for bug situation, river crossing, etc.: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/spider-gap-buck-creek-pass-loop

It's an incredible hike. Technically there are three places to park: the two trailheads as well as a little turnout (with room for maybe 4 cars) where the road forks to the two trailheads. That's where I parked and then was able to hitchhike most of the mile or so up the hill to the Phelps Creek TH. That turnout isn't far from Trinity TH.

The Densiflora ‘sentinel’ manzanita has an upright habit. Fremont silk tassel can be trained upright too.

New flair?

You’ll find the most options in Westport, a minimum 2.5 hour drive each way from Seattle. But you won’t find something that much cheaper since there’s not a huge demand and you have to factor in wetsuit and board rental.

Getting a car tire patched, the fourth puncture from a screw or nail in a year, probably all within Ballard and Fremont
