The Wild Felid Advocacy Center reconnects people with wildlife by introducing visitors to rare, threatened, and endangered
species—up close and personal. The Center’s animal residents serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts: You are more
likely to become invested in these species after you meet them and learn about their inherent value. Looking a tiger in the eye,
hearing wild cats call to one another, and meeting each species for the first time will forever change your perspective. You
protect what you know.

Sightseeing
The Vance Creek Bridge is an arch bridge in the Satsop Hills of Mason County, Washington that was built for a logging railroad owned by the Simpson Logging Company in 1929. At 347 feet (106 m) in height, it is the second-highest railroad arch in the United States after the nearby High Steel Bridge.[2] It was decommissioned in the 1970s, during the decline of logging on the Olympic Peninsula.
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and to the Mason County Historic Preservation Register in 2008.

High Steel Bridge is a truss arch bridge that spans the south fork of the Skokomish River on Forest Service road #2202 near the city of Shelton, Washington in Mason County, Washington. The High Steel Bridge was the second of two large steel arches to be erected by the Simpson Logging Company on Forest Service land in 1929. These bridges carried a single railroad track across formidable chasms opening up expansive tracts of previously inaccessible timber on the Olympic Peninsula.
The High Steel Bridge's 685 ft (209 m) steel riveted webbed arch rises 375 ft (114 m) above the Skokomish River's South Fork, placing it among the top twenty highest bridges in the United States. The building materials—which included a considerable amount of concrete for the footings, lumber for the decking, concrete forms, and railings, and 750 tons of steel—were hauled by rail across the recently completed Vance Creek Bridge.
