Status: Reviewing Intake

Description: Feedback from a recent run of Asbestos Creek indicates that there is an opportunity to re-evaluate and refresh the anchors within this creek.  The WCC is currently evaluating this opportunity.

Status: COMPLETE! On 7/19/2025 volunteers from both Oregon and Washington, removed nearly 800lbs or trash from Rock Creek, working together to safely haul the garbage almost 200 feet.

Trash removed includes:

• 2 mattresses

• 2 bikes

• 1 bed frame

• 1 truck tailgate

• 20 bags of other assorted garbage

Description: Rock Creek is a popular and scenic canyon in the Olympic National Forest that has unfortunately has become a dumping ground for trash due to its roadside proximity. The WCC has received permission from the National Forest staff to organize a clean-up of the creek. Please sign-up or request a reminder for the clean-up event using the sign-up form linked.

Status: COMPLETE!  In July 2025, members of the Washington canyon community executed the proposed re-anchoring project for Mineral Creek and were reimbursed by the WCC. We thank the community for their input and support throughout this process!

Description: Mineral Creek is a oft-visited creek in Alpine Lakes region. Given the recent reopening of the trailhead and the forest service permitting of guided canyon trips, the WCC is publishing a proposal for re-anchoring. The proposal intent is to re-anchor the canyon to modern standards.

Status: COMPLETE! In July 2025, members of the Washington canyon community executed the proposed re-anchoring project for Davis Creek and were reimbursed by the WCC. We thank the community for their input and support throughout this process!

Description: Nestled in the PNW, Davis is arguably one of the most recognized and classic canyons for both beginners and intermediates canyoners. The creek was first bolted prior to the advent of modern bolting standards and contains old, unreliable anchors that are both and eyesore and potentially a hazard. The WCC is currently preparing a proposal for the updating of anchors, with plans to share this proposal with the community to solicit feedback.
