Washington Outdoor shooting - gravel pit off NF-55 still open?

booboo206 · Oct 30, 2016

Hey everybody, looking to do some outdoor shooting tomorrow and my usual spot (issaquah sportsmens club) is closed mondays and tuesdays. I was hoping to do some shooting on public land so i can get a chance to shoot how i like. I'm in the greater seattle /eastside area and not looking to go too terribly far, although I know outdoor shooting has gotten more and more difficult over the past few years.
I was wondering if anybody knows whether the gravel pit off of I-90 off of NF-55 is still open to the public? I've also heard it referred to as the Subaru pit because there used to be Subaru remains at the entrance. If this place is no longer open does anyone know any areas nearby? I'm a responsible person who cleans up all of my trash and doesn't want to ruin any good spots for everyone else. any info would be greatly appreciated. please feel free to respond here or send me a private message. thanks in advance!

To my knowledge there are no longer any public land shooting spots off I-90 in King County.

The Greenwater pit was still open a month ago when I shot there. FS-70 out of Enumclaw past Greenwater, take a left.... It shows up if you Google it.

Well, be prepared...there are literally thousands of rounds of corroded and newer brass. It would take a front end loader and a dump truck to clean up. But it doesn't hurt to pick up your brass and remove your targets.
