On July 1, 2019, I climbed the ladder to the summit of Mount Pilchuck, officially completing a several year journey to visit and photograph all of Washington’s last standing fire lookouts. Click through below for more photos, history, and stories of the lookouts. I’m still actively working on these pages so keep coming back for more!
