Enjoy your peaceful weekend hikes in the Olympics while you can! A petition protesting the U.S Navy's plan to conduct warfare training over Olympic National Park and National Forest has gained more than 67,000 signatures, according to a press release from the petitioning corporation Care2. If the petition is unsuccessful, however, the Navy's plan to fly supersonic warplanes above the Olympics will begin in September 2015 - up to 16 hours per day.

The petition was created by Aaron Viles, a Seattle native, who argues that the Navy's plan "is a horrible idea for both humans and wildlife" because of the noise pollution the Navy's jets will create in one of the "quietest spots in the country." Even more harmful, according to the press release, are the microwave and electromagnetic radiation the planes will emit.
