At Senator Murray's Urging, President Biden Includes Funding for Hurricane Ridge Repair in Supplemental Funding Request

Press Release

"When I visited Hurricane Ridge in August to see the damage from the fire firsthand and meet with staff on the ground, I promised that I would do everything in my power to ensure that Olympic National Park has the funding it needs to rebuild this important site--which means so much to families in Washington state and visitors from all over the world. I took what I heard during that visit directly to the Biden administration, to make sure the President's team understood what an important priority this was for Washington state and especially our communities in the Olympic Peninsula.

I'm really glad this critical funding for Hurricane Ridge--which will enable the design and construction of a new permanent lodge, as well as interim facilities--was included in the President's supplemental funding request, and as Chair of the Appropriations Committee, I'll be working hard to get this funding across the finish line for the hikers, visitors, and communities nearby who rely on and cherish Olympic National Park."
