WASHINGTON, D.C. – On May 8, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) issued the following statement regarding the fire on Sunday, May 7, that destroyed the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center in Olympic National Park:
“The loss of the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center is devastating for the Olympic Peninsula and for the more than 300,000 travelers who visit the iconic visitor center every year. I am working with Secretary Haaland and the National Park Service to make sure this historic lodge is rebuilt,” Sen. Cantwell said.
The lodge had been closed since March 27 for a rehabilitation project.
