Reply to comment by Twin_Peaks_Townie in Snoqualmie Falls update - 2 weeks since the rain returned by Twin_Peaks_Townie

Just FYI it is illegal to fly a drone at or near a hydroelectric facility such as Snoqualmie Falls. Because they are considered critical infrastructure and are under federal jurisdiction. Also there are several protected bird species around the falls. There are signs up in the park and PSE can shut you down or contact law enforcement. Not trying to be a party pooper just wanted you to be informed.

I'm sure you have a source at the ready for that regulation...
You are taking a prohibition on flying over a very specific subset of Critical Infrastructure, and are incorrectly applying it to whatever you feel it should be, when it isn't.

I've clearly laid out that I wasn't on PSE property, so they aren't going to call law enforcement for breaking a rule of theirs. Here's Snoqualmie municipal code on UAS https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Snoqualmie/html/Snoqualmie17/Snoqualmie1779.html

Sorry, but you are intentionally trying to be a party pooper.

Edit: Grammar.
