Talk:Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park

message: I feel it is important on this page to write a little about the history of the land before it became a park.  I'm sorry I couldn't write this myself because I don't have enough information but I did place the titles for someone else later to fill it in.
First it should be included that it was the second location of the Newcastle mines and the town of Newcastle was moved with the mine to the location red town trail.
Second it is also import to talk about the Nike Missile base located in the northeastern side of the park.
I'm sorry I don't know enough to fill in these important details.

message: There is some plagiarism at around "To reach Anti-Aircraft Peak: From I-90, take exit 13 and drive up Lakemont Boulevard. Turn left onto Cougar Mountain Way, then right onto Cougar Mountain Drive, which will become the park's gravel driveway at the very top of the mountain."

I actually went there at the beginning of June and I have a book on some information about cougar Mountain.
Here is some information that I got from the book (edited in my own words) 
"Ford slope, located at the Rainbow Town Trail at W2 is a concrete arch of the Ford Slope. This descended 1740 feet on a slope sunk at an angle of 42 degrees, 850 vertical feet falling to 200 feet below sea level. Between the years of 1914 and 1926, 11 electric locomotives worked underground pulled up by steam hoists."
Would this information be useful? If not, please delete this chunk.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.188.48.120 (talk) 00:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Additional Information

message: This article seems to be about the regional park, not the mountain itself. Would it be helpful to move this article to Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park and start a new article about the mountain itself? That would be analogous to the separate articles on Mount Rainier and Mount Rainier National Park. Thoughts? —hike395 (talk) 06:43, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I respectfully disagree --- WP usually separates articles about parks and mountains within them. See, e.g., Mount Rainier and Mount Rainier National Park. If you want to add more info re habitat and wildlife to the Cougar Mountain article, please feel free. —hike395 (talk) 18:34, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Squak Mountain and Tiger Mountain may raise similar issues. They are within Squak Mountain State Park and West Tiger Mountain Natural Resources Conservation Area, respectively. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 20:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The map in the article is that of the entire US, with a red dot in Washington state. I suggest a more regional map that is more zoomed in, where the reader can actually see where the property is. You can help the article by making the map better.--Eagledj (talk) 14:19, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
