The Historic Administration Building at the Ballard Locks in Seattle, Washington. It is a rectangular two-story building with three red-framed arched windows on both sides of a large arched entryway in the center of the building that includes a wooden 3-piece door with long rectangular windows. There are three small square windows above the arched windows and the building is a light stone color with a red rooftop. There is an American flag on a pole on the roof and a Washington state flag and a Canadian flag are both flying below it.There are trees behind the building, a pale cloudy sky above, and railing in the foreground.

#JDVance’s team had the #ArmyCorpsofEngineers take the unusual step of changing the outflow of a lake in OH to accommodate a recent boating excursion on a family holiday—when the NPS lost 25% of its staff, leading to some parks being closed. Add that to his other #taxpayerfundedVancefamilyvacations

LA fires charred homes into piles of metal and concrete. By recycling them, they're given new life After the Palisades and Eaton fires scorched entire neighborhoods, the Army Corps of Engineers set up operations to recycle concrete and metal from mostly fire-damaged homes.

Georgia lawmakers push to keep Lake Lanier parks open for holiday weekend Republicans lobbied the Trump administration while Democrats attacked the move.

"Republicans who worked behind the scenes to blunt the closures included U.S. Reps. Rich McCormick and Andrew Clyde, and state Sen. Greg Dolezal of Cumming, who called the plan 'nonsensical and infuriating'.” #doge #armycorpsofengineers
