Lived in Sultan for a year, transited Ben Howard almost daily. Never heard of this, but very interested to know more.

Well keep me posted if this range on Ben Howard Road is still open to shooting. I "googled" and came up empty handed.

Jim Faire is currently awaiting trial for homicide over in Wenatchee-ish. Ran someone over with his truck during a confrontation/fleeing a confrontation. No clue if anyone is currently living on his property in Monroe.

He used to be a regular on another local forum. Ive shot at his place, 10+ years ago as a guest of a mutual friend. He hosted the Appleseed event at least once in the same time period. He dozed up a 20'+ 3 sided berm and created a 100 yard-ish shooting range in a field behind his house. His neighbors loved him ;)

I've said it before, bad shit usually happens when you least expect it. :bigsmile:

I doubt he was a squatter. From the various online articles it sounds like a falling out after Ms. St. Pierre died and the attending settling of her estate issues. But that's all irrelevant in regard to his range, it's closed at this point.

I miss the happier days when I could just read a news story and believe it.

Now I just get so confused....

I would take any "information" from SPLC with a grain of salt.
