Chinooks coming our way ? When will they get here ?
After the Corona Virus Lockdown of course, otherwise they would be breaking the Commandant Inslee's rules :hello:

They are here 😥

With less than a 1000 over McNary the chinook watch will require patience
Numbers are good enough in my local. We should have been fishing a week ago..

What other outdoor recreation is closed? Ski hills are, not sure what else.
All DNR lands are shut down. So all state forests are not able to be hiked into and all beaches are closed.
Golfing is closed (governor refers to it as outdoor recreation. i guess it is but I never think of it as outdoor recreation)
Bear hunting is closed.

Nothing only hunting and fishing. You can still do everything else but access to those activities might be limited. You can still ski. But your walking up the hill or snowmobiling.

All beaches are closed? If so, compliance is horrible as is enforcement. From what I saw, hunting fishing and camping at established campsites is top of the list. A few launches are closed but many are open. Tons of people out on the rivers, lakes and salt beaches, parks, trails and pretty much everywhere else on sunny days doing everything except fishing.
I think it's not quite accurate to say recreation is closed and we are now opening it to whatever degree we hear about tonight. Outside of hunting and fishing, it seems like 90% of outdoor recreation is and has been open.

The beaches aren't closed, at least not in Grays Harbor county. You can't drive your vehicle onto the beach like normal but everyone is parking and walking onto the beach. I only know that because we did it ourselves.

I thought beaches were controlled by DNR and were therefore closed. :dunno:
The ocean beaches are controlled by State Parks.

That's because hunting and fishing are the only activities they already have a mechanism set to fine the crap out of us.... :bash:

I guess I was assuming the beaches were closed. If beaches are open, why shouldn't someone be able to fish for surf perch? That's ridiculous.

I stand corrected. I guess just the forests are closed and fishing and hunting is shut down.

That's what we're trying to figure out. If boating is open, fishing should be open. If fishing should be closed, boating should be closed. Same story on the beach.
