Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has closed access to both
the Little Si and Mount Si Trailheads near North Bend because of an accident investigation
from an early morning airplane crash in the Mount Si Natural Resources Conservation
Area (NRCA), which is managed by DNR. Mount Si Road is also closed to everyone but
residents in the area.
Once the King County Sheriff’s office has completed its part of the accident investigation,
which involved fatalities, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National
Transportation Safety Board will need to come in to conduct their own investigations.
The area is closed until further notice—several days—while the investigation continues.
We will let you know when the area reopens.
