Plan would move Green Mountain lookout with helicopter

Everett Herald

The Forest Service is proposing to use a helicopter to haul away the fought-over forest fire lookout on Green Mountain in the Glacier Peak Wilderness and plunk it down eight miles away at the top of Circle Peak. Earlier this year, four members of Washington state's congressional delegation -- Democratic U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and Reps. Suzan DelBene and Rick Larsen -- introduced legislation to keep the lookout where it is.
