Fire Lookout Friday: Goodman Hill

Washington's lowest elevation fire lookout, artillery fields, and a military escort.

Washington's lowest elevation standing fire lookout sits hidden on one of the largest military installations in the world. The problem? Almost nobody on base seems to know it’s there. This week's story is about a fire lookout that took me two attempts, three trips to Range Control, a drive through artillery fields, and a military police escort to prove it actually existed.

Fire Lookout Friday is a weekly podcast and newsletter about Washington's historic fire lookouts—their stories, their history, and the ridiculous things that happen when you decide to visit all of them. And then staff one.
