I've been meaning to check it out. Is it sketchy?

Not sketchy, well kept trails along the river, a few waterfalls, educational stuff about salmon breeding. If you go in the spring you can see the tiny salmon hatchlings before they leave the human made breeding grounds, in the fall you can see the adult salmon finishing their journey upriver (and up waterfalls) to reach the place of their birth. It's an awesome sight to behold (though a little sad because they are close to the end of their life at this stage)

You may want to wait until they clear the fallen rock on the brewery side that part of the trail was closed off (and has been since the storm 2 weeks ago) as recent as Monday so you could not do the full loop. Otherwise this is a great visit with recent hatchery improvements so you can view fish through the glass and an extended bike walking path so you can go all the way to the Capital. There are no fish at the hatchery ATM so you may want to wait until they run again. August - November is a great time to see the fish jump in the falls.

Nah, I feel ya. That's why I asked. I live just west of olympia.

Oh, maybe you would know, is that an abandoned warehouse out nearish the falls? It looks creepy.
