Rockfall closes trail

PORT ANGELES — Due to a landslide, Olympic National Park’s Spruce Railroad Trail has been closed until further notice.

Significant rockfall and debris cover the trail near the Daley-Rankin Tunnel.

The tunnel portal structure and bridge are also damaged, according to park staff.

Closing the entire trail is necessary to protect visitor safety and allow park crews to remove debris, assess trail damage and make plans for repairs, according to a press release.

Winter Classic fan action

Fans in and around the T-Mobile Park site of the Jan. 1 outdoor NHL Winter Classic will have plenty to do before the Kraken take to the ice against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The league announced Thursday that a free, two-day outdoor Enterprise NHL Fan Village will open Sunday afternoon on Dec. 31 at the Lumen Field North Parking Lot after the Seattle Seahawks’ game against Pittsburgh and run until 8 p.m.

It will then reopen Monday morning on Jan. 1 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. leading into the Winter Classic and then from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. after the outdoor contest.

This follows an announcement Wednesday that the NHL’s network partner TNT and Bleacher Report will host a smaller outdoor fan-themed Open Ice Breakaway Event across the street from T-Mobile Park on the Jan. 1 game day only at the Hatback Bar & Grille at the Boxyard.

Admission is free, but fans must register in advance at NHL.com/FanVillage. If the Seahawks game is flexed off its 1 p.m. start time, the village will only be open on Sunday instead of both days.
