Our journal, Washington Geology, includes original articles about the geology, geologic hazards, and mineral resources of our state. It also contains announcements, reviews, and other items of interest to the geologic community of Washington. This journal is currently on hiatus, but some issues of Washington Geology (and its predecessor, Washington Geologic Newsletter) are available online, in PDF format. Paper copies of recent back issues are still available.
