Thank you for choosing to support Northwest Scientific Association by attending the 81st Annual Meeting. Formed in 1923, the Association is dedicated to serving the scientific community of the northwestern United States and western Canada through three primary activities: (1) convening an annual meeting which offers scientists opportunity to share research findings, (2) supporting student research through a small grant competition, and (3) disseminating scientific knowledge through publication of our quarterly journal, Northwest Science. The work of the Association is entirely supported by its members - there is no paid staff. Through honorary awards the Association also works to recognize excellence in science and service. Individuals that have contributed to the Association in the past are your teachers and mentors. We all owe them a great deal of thanks. You can contribute to this legacy and help build the future of Northwest Scientific Association by providing leadership through service on the Association’s board of directors. If this (or other volunteer opportunities) interests you, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the current board to find out more. These positions are open to all members of the Association. I would like to give special thanks to Dr. Katherine Glew, this year’s annual meeting planning committee chair. After serving two consecutive three-year terms on the board of directors - many years as chair of the student grants committee - Katie is serving as honorary board member this year to lead the effort to host the 81st annual meeting here at University of Washington. As should be expected there are many others to thank as well: planning committee members, symposia organizers, session moderators, program sponsors, and the many presenters. The annual meeting is a natural time of change - when members of the board of directors change positions, welcome new members, and form a new team. My whole hearted thanks to those that have served on this year’s board of directors: Bax Barton, University of Washington; Doug Call, Washington State University; Jana Compton, US Environmental Protection Agency; Lori Daniels, University of British Columbia; Jeff Duda, US Geological Survey; Kevin Feris, Boise State University; Katie Glew, University of Washington; Nancy Grunewald, Washington State University Press; Mark Harmon, Oregon State University; Judy Harpel, University of Washington; Robin Lesher, USDA Forest Service; Elizabeth Nesbitt, University of Washington; Pat Pringle, Centralia College; Allen Sullivan, Yakima Training Center; and Kathy Goetz Troost, University of Washington. Most of all, I invite you to enjoy yourself while attending the annual meeting. The University of Washington campus is beautiful in spring. Seattle is a great place - rain or shine. Have fun! Enjoy the company of old friends and new acquaintances. Sincerely, Steven K.

GIS data sources were as follows: • Snohomish County • King County • Pierce County • City of Everett • City of Mountlake Terrace • City of Lake Forest Park This information was not verified in the field and parks and recreation facility representatives were not contacted to determine ownership or the recreational uses associated with these resources. Over 1,300 parks and recreation facilities were listed in the available GIS database including a wide variety of open space areas, sports fields, trails, and water- oriented facilities.

    CATALOG SPRING/ SUMMER 2018 S18_Cover_Alt.indd 2 8/30/17 11:13 AM WHEN THE WORLD SUDDENLY CHANGES “Give him to us! We will kill him!” About one hundred belligerent men had gathered in front of the tent, calling for me. Greg Vernovage, an American mountain guide, and Melissa (Arnot) guarded the tent and tried to keep the Sherpas at bay. A lone Sherpa, Pang Nuru, was standing next to them. He had nothing to do with us but was obviously perturbed by the situation and knew that this was just not right. I could hear a fierce discussion. The Sherpas ordered me to come out. I would be the first they would beat to death, and when they had finished with me they would go for the other two. I felt powerless and could not see a way out. How could we possibly turn the situation into our favor? What would happen to us? It was over. I couldn’t do anything. My hands were tied. I thought about how ridiculous the situation was. How many expeditions had I been on and then come back from in one piece? How many critical situations had I survived? And now I was crouching in a tent on Mount Everest, just about to be lynched by a mob of Sherpas. This was impossible and the whole situation so absurd that I had no hope. The Sherpas were incalculable, but I would probably not survive. I started to imagine how my life would end by stoning. —Excerpt from Ueli Steck: My Life in Climbing MOUNTAINEERS BOOKS is the publishing division of The Mountaineers, a nonprofit membership organization that has been a leader in outdoor education for more than 100 years.

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.
