2023 Mushroom Farm Fire
A 12-year-old girl who attended the neighboring Nisqually Middle School snuck into the abandoned Ostrom Mushroom Farm with two other friends sometime during school hours. Although the exact time is unknown, the fire was suspected to have started around 1:00 PM. Nisqually students found out about the fire as they were leaving school and noticed smoke coming from the farm. Fire trucks came to extinguish the blaze, and it continued for multiple hours before being fully extinguished the next day.
