Before I get hate for this picture I want to clarify three things.

1.) I did not take this picture from Puget Sound Energy property (where the no drones signs are posted everywhere).

2.) Peregrine Falcon nesting season doesn't start until early spring.

3.) Before launching my drone I coordinated with the Snoqualmie Tribe about a set of restrictions that allow safe and non-disruptive flight. I made sure that the tribe knows that on the rare occasion I fly over there, that it's done in a respectful manner. The drone flies above the river then entire time.

I've very aware of the signs posted everywhere, and who has what authority over the airspace.

Edit: Spelling and grammar

The fact that reddit trolls would get upset is sad.

To be fair there are a lot of signs at the Falls Observation Decks that say “no drones”. Legally you can fly one if you launch from the upper parking lot, or any other place we’re you can maintain visual line of sight while getting your shot. If there’s one thing that Reddit loves, it’s letting someone know that they are wrong. So, a disclaimer like this is absolutely warranted, given the likelihood that an uncertified drone pilot could be launching, operating, and landing from the observation decks.

I am actually glad that this restriction is in place at PSE, because you have to do your due diligence in order to comply with the regulations.

Two separate issues. I'm getting downvotes because people are trash and want to interfere with everything. Just a bunch of depressed people who can't just enjoy something without making a big deal about it.
