Hunters must choose to hunt on either odd-numbered or even numbered weekend days, from 8:00 AM until 10:00 AM. Youth and senior hunters may hunt on either day. These sites include: Lake Terrell (including British Petroleum and Intalco), Snoqualmie (including Stillwater, Cherry Valley, and 5 SKAGIT Crescent Lake segments), Skagit, wildlife areas, and all sites on Whidbey Island. Nontoxic shot must be used on all release sites statewide. Other instructions and information may be posted at release sites. Reminder: At least 400 square 405 inches of Hunter Orange must be KING worn by all upland bird hunters. Typically, birds are released on these sites at least three times per week, mainly on weekends. The two main release sites on Whidbey Island are on the Naval Air Station (OLF and Seaplane Base). In order to hunt on these sites, hunters must obtain a NAS Whidbey Island Upland Game Hunting Permit from the Environmental Bldg. 113 on Ault Field.

  • An Investigation of the Puget Sound Convergence Zone Using WES Doug Mcdonnal and Brad Colman WFO Seattle WA Intro
    An Investigation of the Puget Sound Convergence Zone Using WES Doug McDonnal and Brad Colman WFO Seattle WA Introduction The Puget Sound Convergence Zone (PSCZ) � a mesoscale phenomenon produced by the interaction of synoptic­scale low and mid­level flow with the orography of western Washington � is one of the more interesting weather events of the Puget Sound metropolitan area.� Due to its prominence in the local meteorology and climatology, and the challenge it frequently presents to forecasters, the PSCZ has been the subject of much research over the past quarter­century (e.g., Mass 1980, Ferber and Mass 1990, Whitney et al. 1997).� Of course, it is critically important that everyone on the operational staff at WFO Seattle has an understanding of its physical causes and a familiarity with its effects.� For these reasons, the investigation of an actual PSCZ is an ideal application of the Weather Event Simulator (WES) as a training tool. A PSCZ developed on 14 May 2003 and remained intermittently active through 17 May 2003.� In many respects this was a classic convergence zone episode, lending itself nicely to investigation using WES.� Its formation and duration was typical within the context of the evolution of the synoptic­scale features.� Specifically, it developed shortly after a surface front moved through western Washington and lingered over the north Puget Sound area until the arrival of the associated upper­trough axis; following the passage of the trough axis, the PSCZ moved south through the Puget Sound as it weakened and died.� A weak mesoscale low serving as the western anchor of the PSCZ was present at times during the episode.� In this event the PSCZ produced many of the sensible weather elements most commonly associated with its occurrence ­­ especially a spring event � including heavy showers, thunderstorms with small hail, snow accumulation on the Stevens and Snoqualmie Pass highways, and generally clear skies over the south Puget Sound.

  • Sluskin: Yakima Guide to Mount Rainier Columbia Magazine, Spring 1991: Vol
    Sluskin: Yakima Guide to Mount Rainier Columbia Magazine, Spring 1991: Vol. 5, No. 1 By Michael F. Turek & Robert H. Keller Jr. THE SCENE STARTLED THEM. In the late summer of 1915 two federal rangers, Leonard Rosso and Arthur White, had hiked into Yakima Park on Mount Rainier and found about 30 Indians occupying an alpine meadow. According to Rosso and White, the band was "ek[e]ing out an existence in the manner of their kind before the coming of the white man." In other words, hunting. The Indians were members of the Yakima tribe, and they called the meadow Me~yah~ah Pah, Place of the Chief. The Yakimas had met there for generations to race horses, hunt, gather food and conduct ceremonies. Me~yah~ah Pah was a native summer encampment similar to southern camps on Klickitat or Pah To (Mount Adams). Above this alpine meadow Mount Rainier rose nearly another 10,000 feet to dominate the Puget Sound country skyline. Indians west and east of the Cascade range had given the mountain different names, but the most common one was Tahoma, or White Mountain - a Yakima word. The tribe's winter villages were located southeast of the peak. With the onset of summer and the melting of snow in the high meadows, the Yakimas, Klickitats and other Columbia Plateau tribes would return to Me~yah~ah Pah. Their hunters approached the montane parks through an ancient forest in the Ohanapecosh valley. At 4,500 feet the conifers began to thin and a lush green carpet appeared.

  • The Impacts of Climate Change at Mount Rainier National Park
    The impacts of climate change at Mount Rainier National Park Photo credit: Larry Workman Kevin Ford University of Washington [email protected] April 17, 2012 Summary Past and future climate change Average annual temperature in the Pacific Northwest has increased 0.83ºC (1.5ºF) since 1920 and is projected to increase an additional 2.0 - 4.0ºC (3.6 - 7.2ºF), or more, by the end of the century. In addition to higher temperatures, the region will likely experience wetter winters and drier summers, with a slight increase in annual precipitation. These alterations of the climate system are due in large part to human actions, namely the emission of greenhouse gases. Below are some of the ways Mount Rainier National Park could be affected by these changes in climate. Glaciers, debris flows and floods The Park’s glaciers have decreased in area and volume over the last century in association with increasing temperatures. The retreat of the glaciers has exposed large amounts of loose soil that can be washed into river channels during heavy rain events. Once in the channel, this soil can mix with water to form a fast-moving slurry called a debris flow. These flows can be very powerful and dislodge large boulders or trees, and also destroy riverside buildings and roads. Much of the debris washed into the Park’s rivers settles out at lower elevations and accumulates on the river bed. Some areas of the Park have experienced such high rates of accumulation that the beds of some stretches of river are actually above the surrounding landscape, making it more likely for waters to overtop river banks and flood large areas of land during intense rainstorms.
