[Geysers] Longmire Hot Springs cyclic?

So this isn't very related to Geysers but earlier this month I heard mention that someone said that they saw cyclic action in the Longmire thermal springs at the foot of Mount Rainer in Washington about a year ago. I've done some digging and the most information I can find on the springs seems to come from a single website that states that they go through temperature variations from 77-89 degrees F, and that surprisingly they have traces of travertine in them. But can anyone confirm or support this observation that they may have some periodic bubbling? As a Washingtonian I am curious to see if we actually have anything interesting happening with our meager thermal springs. 

I've personally seen them bubble.  Just rise lazily and pop.  I don't know if that's what you've got in mind.
