Our recent storms didn't just hit homes and businesses hard - it did a great deal of damage to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville.

Falling tree limbs damaged structures and walkways - including several MILES of the fencing around the park's 'free-roaming area'.

It'll take around 200-thousand dollars to fix all the damage.

Until then, the park is closed.

They hope to have it open in time for Presidents' Day Weekend.
