Back Cover Washington State Trails Coalition Founded in 1999, the purpose of the Washington State Trails Coalition is to provide an effective and interactive forum centering on protecting, pro- moting, and enhancing a statewide system of trails. Membership is open to anyone with a passion for trails, including motorized and non-motorized outdoor recreation and transportation. The primary focus of WSTC is a biennial statewide trails conference and an off-year caucus. 2 Welcome to Wenatchee The Wenatchee Valley encompasses an area that includes arid desert land- scapes and natural beaches along the Columbia River along with manicured parks, as well as the alpine wilderness of the Cascade Range. The Wenatchee Valley has become a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. In the same day you can: water ski the Columbia River and ski Mission Ridge; whitewater raft the Wenatchee River and mountain bike Sage Hills; enjoy a few rounds of golf and take a snowshoe trek; and ... well, you get the idea. That environment has served the area well in attracting medical and business professionals, families and retirees. Combine that with the low cost of public power and the combination becomes even more magical. A great place to visit, spend some time, settle in or stay. 3 The 2018 Washington State Trails Coalition Conference is hosted in the Wenatchee Convention Center. Centrally located in the heart of Washington State, the Wenatchee Convention Center offers 50,000 square feet of flexible meeting space in downtown Wenatchee. The Convention Center is an ideal location for conventions, meetings, and special events. The Center boasts a ballroom of over 10,000 square feet, a 7,500 square foot exhibition hall, and 14 additional break- out/meeting rooms ranging from 500 to 2,000 square feet.

These geese originate from breeding colonies in Alaska, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and northeastern Russia (Einarsen 1965, Palmer 1976, Bellrose 1980, Reed et al. 1989). The population was recently estimated at approximately 130,000 birds (Trost 1998, Wahl et al. 2005). Mexico has been recognized as a major wintering area for 2 Murphie et al. Brant (Smith and Jensen 1970) and Washington, especially Puget Sound, supports the largest concentration of Brant north of Mexico in winter and >90% of the Brant during northward migration (Pacific Flyway Council 2002).

  • Iron Horse State Park Trail – Renaming Effort/Trail Update – Report
    Don Hoch Direc tor STATE O F WASHINGTON WASHINGTON STATE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSI ON 1111 Israel Ro ad S.W. P.O . Box 42650 Olympia, WA 98504-2650 (360) 902-8500 TDD Telecommunications De vice for the De af: 800-833 -6388 www.parks.s tate.wa.us March 22, 2018 Item E-5: Iron Horse State Park Trail – Renaming Effort/Trail Update – Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This item reports to the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission the current status of the process to rename the Iron Horse State Park Trail (which includes the John Wayne Pioneer Trail) and a verbal update on recent trail management activities. This item advances the Commission’s strategic goal: “Provide recreation, cultural, and interpretive opportunities people will want.” SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Initial acquisition of Iron Horse State Park Trail by the State of Washington occurred in 1981. While supported by many, the sale of the former rail line was controversial for adjacent property owners, some of whom felt that the rail line should have reverted back to adjacent land owners. This concern, first expressed at initial purchase of the trail, continues to influence trail operation today. The trail is located south of, and runs roughly parallel to I-90 (see Appendix 1). The 285-mile linear property extends from North Bend, at its western terminus, to the Town of Tekoa, on the Washington-Idaho border to the east. The property consists of former railroad corridor, the width of which varies between 100 feet and 300 feet. The trail tread itself is typically 8 to 12 feet wide and has been developed on the rail bed, trestles, and tunnels of the old Chicago Milwaukee & St.

  • Salmon, Steelhead, and Bull Trout Habitat Limiting Factors
    Salmon, Steelhead, and Bull Trout Habitat Limiting Factors For the Wenatchee Subbasin (Water Resource Inventory Area 45) and Portions of WRIA 40 within Chelan County (Squilchuck, Stemilt and Colockum drainages) FINAL REPORT NOVEMBER 2001 Carmen Andonaegui WA State Conservation Commission Headquarters Office: P. O. Box 47721 Olympia, Washington 98504-7721 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In accordance with RCW 77.85.070 (Salmon Recovery Act, previously Engrossed Senate House Bill 2496), a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was organized in March 2000 by the Conservation Commission in consultation with Chelan County, the Yakima Nation (YN), and the Colville Confederated Tribes (CCT), by inviting private, federal, state, tribal and local government personnel with appropriate expertise to participate. The role of the TAC was to identify the limiting factors for anadromous salmonids and bull trout in the Wenatchee subbasin (WRIA 45) and the Squilchuck, Stemilt, and Colockum drainages of WRIA 40 (RCW 77.85.070[3]). The information was then incorporated into this report to support the Chelan County Lead Entity Committee in their effort to compile a habitat restoration/protection projects list, establish priorities for individual projects, and define the sequence for project implementation (RCW 77.85.050[1c]). The TAC membership mailing list was extensive. It included the following persons, although actual participation in the TAC meetings and contribution to the development of the report through draft document reviews were represented by a core group, identified here with an asterisk: Bambrick, Dale National Marine Fisheries Service Bickford, Shane* Douglas County Public Utilities District Bugert, Bob* WA State Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office Cappellini, Malenna* U.S.
