Vista House

The historic Vista House on top of Mount Spokane had new life breathed into it Saturday when a set of steel exterior stairs were installed to allow public access to an old fire lookout on the second floor. Ashton Finnoe tackled the construction of the stairs as his Eagle Scout project. He began planning the project last year, including taking measurements at the site, but couldn’t complete construction before the snow fell.
