During Your Stay

Weather Conditions and Closure Statement:

Ingalls Creek Enrichment Center is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable setting for meaningful gatherings. We make every effort to keep our facilities and programs operating so that groups can have the time together as planned. Emergency closure is rare and is based primarily on safety conditions on site.

Because conditions and circumstances vary, decisions about closure or cancellation by Ingalls Creek are made on a case-by-case basis. Individuals and groups may also make their own decisions about whether to attend. When Ingalls Creek remains open, such decisions are subject to our standard cancellation policy. We value clear, frequent communication and will provide current site assessments to help inform decisions. When conditions and forecasts are changing, we generally make cancellation decisions two days before a planned arrival date.

Fire Activity: Ingalls Creek will remain open at Level 1 evacuation status. If fire conditions are at Level 2, we will monitor the forecast carefully and decide according to anticipated conditions for the arrival date. Ingalls Creek will close and programs will be cancelled if Level 3 is declared.

Air Quality: Air quality can vary widely in this area during fire activity. An air quality monitor located adjacent to the property provides current, localized information. The Lodge has good air filtration that is maintained regularly. Refer to the AirNow/EPA Air Quality Index to help plan appropriate activities.

Winter Conditions: Snow and ice are a normal part of winter at Ingalls Creek, and our staff members are experienced in keeping the property accessible. For current road conditions, check WSDOT's travel information.
