WASHINGTON: DISCOVERY OF DRUG LAB CLOSES FOREST
State officials have temporarily closed most of a 26,000 acre state forest
preserve near Mount Rainier National Park, after a conservation officer
found a large methamphetamine laboratory hidden among the fir trees there.
The state Department of Natural Resources said it might take several days
or even a few weeks to conduct an investigation and clean up hazardous
chemicals at the site, spread over nearly two acres in the Tahoma State
Forest. A 19-year-old Tacoma woman was arrested.
