We have already had multiple come down so if you are coming to enjoy the snow we recommend the field like these kiddos are doing!!! Or drink some hot cocoa and enjoy the snowflakes from a window inside where it is warm and cozy:)

"Historic Camp Long in West Seattle is a public park dating to the 1930s that’s long been a source of good memories for Seattleites young and old. When its ornate lodge was damaged by an arson fire in late 2024, there were concerns the structure might not be able to be saved. That’s when Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation stepped in."
