- Snoqualmie Bog Natural Area Preserve (dnr.wa.gov)
This preserve protects a sphagnum moss bog and freshwater wetland system, now extremely rare in the Puget Sound basin. The site includes two state-listed sensitive plant species, mountain bladderwort and few- flowered sedge, as well as the state-candidate Beller’s ground beetle. A small strip of natural old growth forest with western hemlock and western redcedar remains along one edge of the bog.

VINDEMIATRIX (Epsilon Virginis). Just over the line into third magnitude (2.83) and third brightest in the constellation Virgo following first magnitude Spica (the Alpha star) and Porrima (Gamma), Vindemiatrix still wound up with Bayer’s Epsilon designation.
