Start location: Davis Meeker oak, 7527 Old Highway 99 SE, Olympia WA 98501
End location: Squalli-absch Family Forest, 9606 Sheldon Rd SE, Olympia WA 98501
Join Cowlitz Tribe elders and others as we walk 2.7 miles on the path of the Cowlitz Trail to the forestland south of BAR Holdings, ending with a walk on a trail through the forest down a hill to where the Cowlitz Trail crosses the property (9606 Sheldon Rd SE, Olympia). For the more able-bodied, we'll take you downhill even further and show you a mound of cobbles that appears to be a grave mound.
Snacks will be provided at the end. If you can't walk that far, you can meet us at the end.

Note: there are no bathroom facilities. If there is enough interest, a port-a-potty may be rented.
Submit your comments to the county
Fill out the county's comment form today.
The county is looking at how many people oppose the Bar Holdings proposal and how many support it. The developers have a huge network of realtors and builders who all make comments for each other on whatever projects are coming up. It makes it hard for the truly affected citizens to be seen. The more of us who speak up, the more likely we can stop this in its tracks.
