Areas in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest permanently closed to target ...
Parts of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest along Interstate 90 and Middle Fork Road 56 have been permanently closed to target shooters. The area along the highway had been temporarily closed about two years ago.
The ban does not affect hunting activites.
Target shooting in recreational areas and associated environmental damage prompted the move, Snoqualmie District Ranger Jim Franzel said. “Every summer, we had two or three near misses.”
Shooting along I-90 greatly dropped off after the temporary ban went into effect. But there have been some fines issued to violators, Franzel said.
The area around the Middle Fork of Snoqualmie River had not been part of the temporary closure, but were added due to similar characteristics – a flat valley floor with steep walls, dispersed camping and high use by non-shooters.
Illegal shooting in the areas can result in a fine up to $5,000 and six months in prison.
Signs designate the areas closed to shooting. Information on where people can target shoot is available at the Forest Service’s district office in North Bend and the Enumclaw Public Service Center.
The closure order and maps are available online.
