High Rock Lookout Destroyed

A historic fire lookout built in 1931—once restored with years of volunteer effort by the Sand Mountain Society—is now in ruins after a devastating act of vandalism. Vandalizers smashed windows, ripped off the door, and tossed debris off a cliff, calling it “total annihilation.” This iconic spot, offering breathtaking views of Mount Rainier and a beloved hiking destination, had been revitalized since 2015, but the damage is extensive. Authorities are treating it as a federal offense and seeking public tips. The group plans to station volunteers on-site to deter further harm, while the community rallies behind them with donations and support. Their goal? Raise $20,000 to rebuild stronger—and bring those responsible to justice. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
