The areas outside of Ellensburg like Umtanum Ridge always feel different to me since they are basically high desert. Watch out for rattlers. https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/umtanum-ridge-crest

I’ve always wanted to check out more of the scablands created by the Missoula Flood but can’t tell you any specifics of good hikes in the area. Probably pretty easy to find something.

Not different biome, but have you done the Kendall Catwalk? Its a benchcut in solid rock a hundred feet up. Built by the WPA, I believe. https://northbendescapes.com/kendall-katwalk/ https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/kendall-katwalk

Ever tried snow shoeing? Definitely a different hiking style.

Of course, I love it out there. Guess I should have included where I have been, but I have been to pretty much all of the main well known areas for hiking. I feel like there has to be some region with something special and different feeling that I haven’t heard about yet though

But that is exactly what they did.

> “While the power was out, after the Graham and South Hill attacks, the two went to a local business, Crahan drilled out a lock, and Greenwood entered to steal from the cash register,” agents wrote in charging documents filed Tuesday in the Western Washington U.S. District Court.

But these low level criminals were also known by the FBI for some time.

These geniuses also carried their cell phone during the crimes to make it easier for the FBI to ID them. Where did idiots like this get the idea that cutting power to substations would be a good idea?

E-isac had warning for December 23rd, so the feds were expecting it. Who showed these two how to known out substations.

A couple of related historical vignettes…

1956: On school field trips, we believed that if we held our breaths all the way across the bridge in our heavy, slow-moving school bus, that it wouldn’t collapse. Almost 70 years later, you can thank the first grade class of Langley Elementary.

Fast-forward 10 years: On a camping trip to Deception Pass State Park, we Langley High School guys crawled out on the lower bridge girders, over the fast-moving channel, with its deadly-looking whirlpools, to fish for bass. Never caught any, but we earned some bragging rights to this day.

>According to the complaint, Greenwood told investigators after his arrest that the two knocked out power so they could burglarize a business and steal from the cash register. The business was not identified in the complaint.

Bullshit. You don't take out 4 power substations so you can burglarize a single business. There's way more to this than some fucking burglary.
