
Olympic National Park became a
park in 1938. The act establishing Olympic
National Park was signed on June 29th by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is the
one who formed it.In 1988 nearly 96
percent of the park was saved for
wilderness. Over 1,400 square miles lay
within the boundaries. In 1988, 876,000
acres were set aside as a formal wilderness
which is 95 percent of the park land.

They have many mountains. Including the
chimney peak. Hundreds of rivers and lakes
flow throughout the area. Linking ocean and
land ecosystems, rivers and streams
provide a highway for fish and other wildlife
to move both up and downstream. They
have dark green forests and sandy beach
coasts.
The climate and land is always
changing. Sometime s we might not notice
this, but its always moving. Olympic
National Park is in Washington, the corner of
the U.S.A. It’s definitely not California ,but
moves quite a lot.

Their technology is very advanced. The
have wheelchairs at the front desk and much
more. They say that the park is meant for
everyone. “Any shape, any size!”. Several
touch displays, an audio program and displays
with sound effects are very few items they have.
Hearing Assisted Technology is available for use
at the information desk.
Some environmental changes are
visible. For example, a landslide caused by
heavy rains. Other changes are not as easy
to see. Like sedimentary rock. It is to slow for
the eye to see. Occasionally only the effects of
environmental change are visible. We have
to search to find the cause, as in the glaciers
that are cause by environmental change.
