Then and Now: Mount St. Helens

Then and Now: Mount St. Helens

It’s the 41st anniversary of the most devastating volcanic eruption in modern U.S. history, and since we didn’t get to commemorate it properly for its 40th (thanks to COVID), I’m posting this new Juxtapose composite with links to previous MSH material I’ve written. If you get the chance, get up to the mountain this year to experience the awesome and terrible power of nature, and learn about how the mountain has recovered in the past four decades!

About Washington Our Home

My name is Erich Ebel and I love this state. I’ve lived on the green side as well as the brown side. I’ve navigated the rivers and climbed the mountains. I’ve fished its lakes, hiked its trails, marveled at its geology, and studied its fascinating, storied history. I’ve spent the past ten years discovering and sharing stories about Washington’s history, heritage, and culture. My blog, videos, and podcasts hold a treasure trove of interesting facts, unknown facets, and fascinating tales that help to educate the general public about the privileges of being in Washington. I’m the current chair of the City of Lacey Historical Commission, and previously served as Marketing and Communications Director for the Washington State Historical Society and Museum. I’ve been a board member for the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, and the History Insider for Scenic Washington magazine.
