Auburn - Black Diamond, Washington - Flaming Geyser State Park

We have wonderful memories of Flaming Geyser. It's really sad this former jewel of a park has been ruined to serve a small number of people who want to fly model airplanes. There's nothing wrong with model airplanes per se, but why not fly them in an industrial area where the incessant and obnoxious whine wouldn't destroy the enjoyment of other people trying to enjoy a quiet stroll through the meadow in a public park? It's fine if model airplane enthusiasts want to enjoy their hobby, but not in a state park at my expense! What public officials allowed this to happen? This is poor public policy and contradicts the mission of the state parks.

Change Flaming Geyser back the way it was! [Jonathan Bodwell, 10/12/2008]

This park gets its name from the Flaming Geyser -- a vent of natural gas originating from coal seams deep below the earth that erupts in a magnificent flame geysering inches into the air! [Kev F, 07/21/2007]
