Rainier Lookout

Located in the Rainier Training Area on JBLM, the Rainier Lookout was once a fantastic viewpoint. The lookout is gone but at the base is a Corps of Engineers map control station marker placed in 1937 with the name Farley. The four concrete foundation corners are still there as well, including a fox hole between them.

In 1942, a 110-foot timber tower with L-6 cab was built.

In 1968, a 112-foot all-steel tower was built.

In 2000, the steel tower was sold and removed to an outdoor recreational facility on Bainbridge Island..
