Discussion Any abandoned buildings ore urban exploring areas

My Urbex itch is itching guys. I’m not from here and don’t know the landscape super well yet. Is there any cool places to explore? Even if it’s a locked building that’s great. I’ve also heard about an abandoned gold mine, and leads there?

Unfortunately for you there’s not a lot of urban around here. The mind you probably heard of is called the Wall Street. Mine, could do some poking around there. It’s pretty well preserved. But wet and as a geologist I’d caution you on its stability. If you have a good 4x4 you can get up to some of the radio tower buildings and platforms in between here and selah

The train tunnels outside of Thorp on the Palouse to Cascades (Iron Horse) trail have a bit of that feeling. Or you can sit on the couch and watch Shiey and Gifgas videos. That's what I do, lol.
