Mt. Si and Little Si remain off limits to hikers this
weekend as crews continue clearing the wreckage from a small
plane crash.
The Department of Natural Resources reports the wreckage
from the Feb. 15 crash that killed three people at the
popular destination near North Bend is spread over a wider
area than previously thought.
“We just want to keep the area clear so they can have
unfettered access and keep the public safe,” says DNR
spokesperson Toni Droscher.
He says they hope to reopen the area next week, but
possible snow over the weekend could delay that.
Droscher recommends hikers visit nearby Rattlesnake Ledge or
Tiger Mountain instead.
