High Rock Lookout Vandalized, Community Rallies

A historic 1930s fire lookout near Mount Rainier was brutally vandalized—doors smashed, windows shattered, and century-old restored ceiling materials destroyed. But the community rallied: volunteers bushwhacked to cliffs to salvage wood, a glass company donated new panes, and a craftsman sourced authentic, imperfect period glass. For over a decade, dedicated restorers have preserved this rare relic, and now, with renewed urgency, they’re rebuilding—with help from the Sand Mountain Society and the public. The U.S. Forest Service is investigating; tips to authorities are welcome. Donations and volunteer sign-ups are still open to keep this landmark standing.
