• Dairying in the shadow of Mount Rainier (dairystar.com) — A longtime dairy family farming near Enumclaw is selling its conventional herd and switching to organic production this spring, hoping higher milk prices will keep the operation viable. Surrounded by Mount Rainier views but squeezed by development, they’re downsizing their herd, raising organic feed, and planning to milk about 200 organic cows while navigating paperwork, flooding challenges, and high land costs.
