This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with State Parks. This environmental checklist, and the DNS, is available at http://www.parks.wa.gov/plans/separeviews/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The Commission will consider this issue at their May 24, 2012 meeting in Yakima, WA.

If they buy the land, I will offer to buy a 99 year lease on a plot of it for my new cabin
