“Mount Rainier National Park has been completely closed to visitors for the first time in recent memory, after swollen rivers devoured chunks of roads, swallowed several campgrounds, cut electricity to much of the park and forced Park Service employees to flee their headquarters.
“It’s really kind of an amazing amount of damage,” said Lee Taylor, spokeswoman at the park.
The devastation, which could keep the park closed for weeks, was just part of the damage to forest land and recreation areas all over the state brought by this week’s flooding.”
