Tacoma and Seattle public events

With so much interest in the flood and repairs, I've put together a set of stories and images from the event. Please join me for a presentation and Q and A session on Jan 19 in Tacoma, and Jan 26 in Seattle. I will show images and discuss the flood, its damage, the repairs, and the latests on projected road openings. I'll also address questions about:

• mountain conditions
• backpacking and hiking
• mountain climbing
• the new guide service operations

If you're a hiker, climber, skier, or Mount Rainier enthusiasts, there will be something in this for you.

Here are the details.
