Hurricane Ridge Lodge Burns to the Ground

Somewhat local news, Olympic National Parks day lodge at Hurricane Ridge above Port Angeles on the Northern side of the park caught fire this week and burned completely to the ground. No one was present and the 17 mile road leading to Hurricane Ridge had been closed. The lodge had been closed for intensive renovations but no cause has been identified yet.

This might sound a but insensitive as many people have lots of memories attached to the building, but the structure, while ‘historic, in a west coast sense’ wasn’t an architectural marvel. I’m excited for an opportunity to build something new, modern, sustainable and fitting for our times.
