Looks like the Seattle Rifle & Pistol Association's range at Machias is closed for the forseeable future. One of the neighbors is claiming that a round left the range and went through one of her windows.

While this really sucks balls if true, this is the same neighbor that claimed a shot from the range passed through her house in August - when the range was closed for maintenance. She lobbied to close the Machias range then. I'm not going to call her a liar, but everything doesn't add up. A lot of things have to go just right for a round to get out of there. And from what I understand, the house is way off axis from the range. It makes the likelihood of any round getting to her place low; but multiple times? Something is going on there; if it's associated with the range, they have a huge problem that needs to be fixed. If not, then there is douchebaggery afoot. What that might be would be nothing more than speculation right now.
All ranges are under pressure. If you wonder why some ranges implement seemingly stupid rules, this is why. You simply can't have any round get off the range.
