You didn't know they were white even though their pictures are plastered all over the articles? Remember earlier when you said you didn't believe me? lollll, stop trying to change the subject. I voted for Homer Simpson, do you believe that?

The Hoh Rain Forest may be drippy and muddy, but it’s not likely to be snowy.

Right? She means ‘small destination wedding.’

Based on the comments it is hard to see them on the trail, but I respect that you can get such a beautiful photo and respect the land. Are you able to edit the post to include that fact? It might save you some heartache.

Ummm…I didn’t even know they were white. MAGA is not a whites only thing. Maybe you haven’t noticed. I guessed they were MAGA based but n their actions…it’s pretty well known that they pulled this same shit in the Carolinas.

Did you vote Culp or not?? And the only reason I ask is that he was such an absurdly horrible candidate that only the most out of touch with reality constituents would vote for him

White Center.

Thanks for tips on July. I’ve gone up in July in the past (10-19th) and never had many wildflowers bloomed yet so was thinking end of July might be too early still

You are literally the only person here who has assumed any information lolllll. You assumed I'm republican because of a couple of gun related posts and you assumed these guys were MAGA Trumpers because they were white. Bro, you have got to take a look in the mirror on this one. Go back and read the article haha.

I’m not sure why people thought I’d meadow stomp but definitely not. I’m from the area and aware of leave no trace. They’re on a trail in the photos. There’s tons of wildflowers near trails and just want them in the photos in general, don’t plan on ruining them or leaving designated areas!

I am more than willing to discuss issues with people I differ with if their position is rooted in truth and reality. I will not entertain extended discussions with people holding absurd positions based on what they “heard somewhere “

Edit: you did vote for Culp, didn’t you?

They’re actually standing on trail :) I grew up in the PNW I’m very familiar with leave no trace, thanks!

It is not required. I drove into British Columbia from Washington last month. I’m unvaccinated. ✨

Discovery Park in Seattle. Not strenuous and great water and mountain views. Don't leave valuables in your car.

Shucks, I really thought I was going to change your mind there. You definitely seem like someone who is open to and willing to accept different opinions.

I don’t believe you. Go away

I bet you voted Culp

If they have political motivations, it's right wing terrorism, regardless of whether they are part of some larger group. Even if they are "crazy mentally ill" because you don't see "crazy mentally ill" shootings from "left wing terrorism" like you do from the right.

Yes, 9/11, really. It was right wing terrorism, and I only included it due to the severity of the attack since it was over 20 years ago now. But if we want to keep going further, I could. This is no where near an exhaustive list.

You can stick your head in the sand if you want, and pretend that this isn't an issue, and that everything is fake news, but you would be fooling yourself.

They are building like crazy here, especially in Port Orchard.

I'd pick late July/early August for the statistically best chances of a good time. Summer up there is short (that's part of why the plants are so delicate). Melt-out at Paradise is usually early to mid July, and autumn weather starts around Labor day, sometimes sooner.

Try to stick to trails and rocky surfaces. If you're committed to meadow-stomping, find a spot that's already worn bare from others rather than trampling healthy plants.

Please don't trample the wildflowers. There is a very short growing season on thin soils and trampling causes long term damage that takes a long time for the meadows to recover.

Well, I'm not and I didn't vote for trump, so you're an idiot and an asshole. Congrats, you're just as bad as those scary trumpers you hate so much.

Yeah of course. Feel free to PM me if you want more recommendations.

I'll definitely check out Coal Creek thanks!
