OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Hurricane Ridge Road is closed today but will be open Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.
Today’s closure is because of unforeseen staffing limitations, according to Barb Maynes, Olympic National Park spokeswoman.
Seven to 10 staff members and volunteers are needed to provide road maintenance, law enforcement, emergency response and visitor services on Fridays at Hurricane Ridge, Maynes said.
The Hurricane Ridge Road is scheduled to be open, if the weather cooperates, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Monday holidays throughout the winter months.

Applications for Feiro scholarship due by Jan. 15
PORT ANGELES — Feiro Marine Life Center has opened applications on The Wash Board website for a $750 scholarship to support a Clallam County senior planning to attend higher education in 2017-2018.
This scholarship is made possible by private donations to the Feiro Family Scholarship fund — started in honor of Art Feiro, one of the founders of the center and a beloved educator and coach in Port Angeles.
The first Feiro Family Scholarship was awarded in 2016 to Elliott Soelter of Port Angeles High School.
Soelter’s application connected his interest in studying engineering to his interest in marine life and his annual participation in beach cleanups for many years with his family.
The goal of the scholarship is to support students who have an interest in connecting the center’s mission to their future study — whether that be studying engineering, marine biology, finance, nursing or another career.
This scholarship is open to any high school senior in Clallam County, with no income restrictions.
Applications must be submitted at www.thewashboard.org by Jan. 15.
The scholarship winner will be presented with the award at the annual Fish on the Fence gala on Saturday, Feb. 11, sponsored in part by Ruddell Auto and Platt-Irwin Law Firm.
Tickets are now also on sale for the gala at www.feiromarinelifecenter.org/fotf.
State ferry department art contest
Washington state students in sixth through eighth grades have an opportunity to have their artwork on upcoming spring ferry schedules.
The state Department of Transportation’s Ferries Division is now accepting submissions for its spring drawing contest until mid-January.
The theme for the contest is “Ferries + Puget Sound Wildlife,” and entries must be original works of art.
“We’ve printed ferry schedules for over 60 years, but before last year, we never involved our
customers quite like this,” said Washington State
Ferries (WSF) Service Planning Manager Lisa Ballard.
“We love the creativity our younger customers showed, and are excited to make local cover art a ferries tradition for even more young artists.”
The winning drawing will be featured on the cover of 600,000 spring sailing schedules this year.
Those schedules will be distributed aboard the 22 ferries in the system, inside each of the 10 terminals and throughout communities in the region.
The winner and five finalists also will be featured on the WSF website, WSF Twitter and in WSF Weekly Update newsletter.
Drawings will be accepted online via Survey Monkey or mail through Wednesday, Jan. 18.
A complete list of submission requirements can be found on the WSDOT blog at www.wsdotblog.blogspot.com.
