FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







_NO.19_
_WASHINGTON PARKS WILDERNESS BILL_





In 1988 the Washington Parks Wilderness Bills or S 2165 and HR 4146 were introduced wherein over seventeen million acres within Olympic, Mt. Rainier and North Cascades National parks would be designated as wilderness along with some changes in the parks themselves.

Specifically, in the Olympia National Park it is proposed that most of Osette Lake, the slopes north of Lake Crescent, the north side of the Queets River, the entire coastal strip including the intertidal zone and the entire main part of the park should be designated wilderness.  In Mount Rainier National Park the wilderness boundary near Crystal Mountain Ski Area should be drawn at the Park boundary.  In the North Cascades National Park it is proposed that Big Beaver and Thunder Creek be set aside as wilderness, as well as the upper Stehekin Valley reclaimed from the road that is barely passable.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs supports the Washington Parks Wilderness Bills or S 2165 and HR 4146.
