"I want to sincerely apologize for my behavior through the years when I yell, scream, and just unleash rage while you try to enjoy the outdoors. I realize that my anger caused you to be fearful of my trails, and I deeply regret causing you that pain" says Raging River in their apology letter.

When the hikers leave a trace despite your entire existence spent telling them not to

Friday the 13th...and it's snowing... Not sure what kind of weird magic is going on but our mountain snowpack is here for it

I may have a lot of regrets in life, but showing up prepared for a hike isn't one of them

What if the Seahawks are really a million geoducks in a trench coat?

How sweet, someone left an early Valentine's Day note for one of our foresters 😍

Our wildfire team looking at the current snowpack in WA

When we say "yield to horses" on the trail, this is what we actually mean

Ya know, I thought a sunset past 5pm would fix everything...yet here we are...

For years science has proven that nature is better than any and every past relationship, but now a stick, yes the lowly stick, has come to rise above them all.

Craters so beautiful, haters will say it's AI

✨ The mud expert has spoken✨ With recent wet weather, trails may have mud, puddles, and exposed roots. Please come prepared for these conditions, stay on the trail, and leave no trace.

Do you have an inbox that's feeling overwhelming? Hit 'em with a "Let's circle back in the New Year", which gives you... 1. an air of mystery 2. the ol' razzle dazzle 3. plenty of time to get lost in the woods and never turn back

It’s winter. The air is cold. The synths are very moody. And yes, you still need to hydrate.

So THIS is what they mean by Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree....right?

Pineapple is terrible on pizza, but even worse on an Express currently hitting Washington

Ok #SpotifyWrapped... rude to call me out like that

"I asked my boss if..." Well I asked this northern flying squirrel and he approved of you taking the day off today to continue hibernating.

Panic is temporary...existential dread is forever

When my seasonal depression starts overanalyzing motivational posters

What if we kissed after we died and our bodies are returning nutrients to the earth? 💖

Still waiting for someone to get me some tsunami awareness jewelry 👀 I guess I will just keep scrolling dnr.wa.gov/tsunamis while I wait

We’re seeing the potential for coastal flooding today and Thursday due to what’s commonly called “King Tides” in combination with storm events. If you see a flooded road, don’t risk your it vehicle. Try a different route. Don’t make an emergency worse for our busy first responders. #wawx

Why do these big dark haunted houses keep getting more elaborate each year????

Be sure to check your kid's Halloween candy. I just found a derelict vessel damaging the Puget Sound ecosystem inside of mine.

Reminder that the Cascadia Subduction Zone could go off at any minute. Please.

Life during the #awsoutage

Mondays are hard...so here is the forming of an adorable friendship at McLane Creek Nature Trail. You're welcome

Flood Awareness Friday! Flood season is on its way, and unless you have a flood insurance policy you won’t have coverage. Learn more about flood maps, flood danger and flood coverage on our podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... @ecology.wa.gov @emd.wa.gov @wadnr.bsky.social #wawx #Flood

Make sure you are 🙌SAFE🙌 at home….or at school, the office, or stadium, with your earthquake go-bag. Head to www.shakeout.org/washington/ to register for this year's ShakeOut and to learn more about how you can be prepared when the next earthquake - ahem - strikes!

Neat first date idea: We meet under a table at 10:16am on 10/16 and casually talk about our plans if a major earthquake hits Washington.

No, this email does not find me well. I am on the trails, taking advantage of every moment of sunshine before the big dark. The email can’t even find me at all.

🎥 POV: You’re a camera being set up to observe the next six months of rain to see if there is post-wildfire debris movement. 👀

And, baby, that's showfish business for you ✨ That's right, this (not so Swift) star might be dressed for a new era, but has been hard at work for years helping us generate millions for restoring aquatic lands all over Washington. dnr.wa.gov/aquatics/she...

Mount St. Helens was not getting attention for 5 minutes so she had to go dig up 45 year old dirt on everyone

Nobody panic, they left us notes to share with you... 💡Know before you go by downloading maps, checking for closures, and checking fire restrictions 🥾Remember to leave no trace 💧Stay hydrated Oh wait, there’s one last one... ☁️PLEASE DON’T SET THE STATE ON FIRE ☁️🌈😊

For those of you trying to embrace HOA HOA HOA season, I hate to burst your bubble and tell you that it is currently smoke in the air, not mist

Our friends at @wadnr.bsky.social have an update on smoke conditions. Read the latest at wasmoke.blogspot.com #wawildfire

We would like to thank Taylor and Travis for showing us the only way to let Sparks Fly during wildfire season.

We’re happy this suddenly-popular fella decided to maximize his golden years after a 47-year career working outside Washington. Thankfully, our GO map can help retirees from all over the world find some of our state’s most beautiful places. dnr.wa.gov/go

I think I speak for everyone when I say if two roads diverge in a yellow wood...I WILL be taking the one with less spider webs.

Sunsets like these almost make it seem like a new era is on the horizon

I know Deep Purple said “Smoke on the water, fire in the sky”, but I am here to set the record straight and say it is currently "smoke in the sky, fire near the water.”

The #tsunami advisory for #WaState has been CANCELLED. At this time there is no tsunami threat to the Washington coast. Check out www.tsunami.gov for more information. #TsunamiAdvisory #WaWX

Well...this aged too well The Washington Coast is under a tsunami watch for later this evening. Please head to @emd.wa.gov and @nws.noaa.gov for live updates.

Why is it always "I'm training for a marathon" and not "I'm training for a tsunami"? washingtonstategeology.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/n...

Tell me something you thought you wouldn't have to tell the general public...I'll go first

Me yelling from the back: "But how dry is it?" The waterfall: washingtonstategeology.wordpress.com/2025/07/15/n...

Mount Rainier (Tahoma) is a little rumbly, but not to worry. We have all made that decision to get Taco Time too late at night and felt the consequences, totally normal!

I don't know what to tell you all, forest is pretty dry out there
