I'm looking for a good outdoor shooting area in the Snohomish County area which would be safe for rifles. I have heard people talk about Green Mountain, but that is 1.5 hours away and also sounds like it has been made illegal to shoot there. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

You won't get the answer you're looking for. I asked a bit ago too. See, instead of working as a group to positively impact the "open" places where they shoot, folks seem to want to hold on to them and keep them as secret as they can. Only problem is that if more responsible people used them, and organized clean-up days, etc. those places would never be shut down in the first place. But no. They want it keep it on the down low, until the a-holes dump and shoot up one too many computer monitors, or fridges and they get shut down. Sad really. |

![]() when's the last time you posted a cleanup, or even a spot? I know a few spots. They are open and legal. They are clean. No, I won't share as I intend for them to stay that way. | |

phil it's not personal.. in the last 15 years most of the shooting areas that are under an hour away have been shut down. We all have to drive further and further to find spots that are still open. I really don't have any spots within a hour of lynnwood that are open. It's up and over the pass or way down south for me. |

is there that much of a difference? I'm having trouble catching steelhead, you're having trouble finding places to shoot. we're both in search of the great white whale. |

I have two kids. Putting someone on a steelhead is an investment in time I can't afford. | |

I hate steel head fishing for that very reason. I spent soooo many hours as a kid on the woodland bar down in southern wa. we'd be out there all day.. w/NADA. A few of us would bring our dirt bikes.. SAVING GRACE. |

So, I know it isn't open yet but there is a county range in the works. Sno-Co Meanwhile, I know it isn't in Sno county but the Whatcom county range is pretty sweet. I was up there the first time a couple weekends ago. It is used by local departments for training so you might be well served to verify the range is WFO. Best range I have been to in WA, hands down. CCW friendly(No, not all of them are. I know it sounds stupid), and all around cool guys. I for one am keeping tabs on the new range for volunteer opportunities and public input. We needed something like Whatcom, yesterday. Cheers, Al |

So yeah it sounds weird, but not all ranges are Concealed Carry friendly. | |

Rules there are that any concealed weapon, once removed at the range, becomes a "Range Gun" and has to be cased or "action open". If you are carrying concealed, just leave it concealed. Just a safety rule and with their record for safety, it seems to be working. BTW, safety rules unfortunately have to take into consideration the "lowest common denominator". Not everyone who owns a gun behaves safely with it. | |

Personally i go to Plantation Range in Bellingham, very nice guys up there and not all the rules and bs of Kenmore. Well worth the hour drive for me. Plus you don't have to be a member. I took the whole family and spent almost 5 hours there and only cost me $25 bucks i think..lol They have 50, 100, 200, and 300 for HP rifles.

As for carrying a pistol, I was told plainly by the RSO "This is a Cold Range". Conceal or put your SD firearm in your vehicle. So what's the difference? | |

Until it turns into OK MILL ROAD..keep right onto Carpenter Rd.(about 7.8 miles) Take the fork left onto Robe Mendel road.Take a sharp tight onto NFD RD 6126.. if the gate is closed.. park and walk .. it huge.. |
