  11. The Community Wildfire Protection Plan for King County WA has been approved by the state and a PDF is now available on the county website at:
    cdn.kingcounty.gov/-/media/kin

    I searched for info about evacuation and found this passage on p21-22.

    “An east wind event that coincides with a wildfire could push embers directly into the urban areas of King County, a situation which would be dangerous and even life-threatening. This could cause unprecedented destruction to our communities, though such a fire in and of itself is not unprecedented – it is a known feature of our local fire regime. Rapid evacuation is likely the only option for immediately protecting communities in a high-severity, east wind driven fire. 12. Because major high-severity fires occur infrequently, people in higher-risk areas may not realize just how vulnerable they would be to a destructive, wind-driven wildfire. Lack of awareness can lead to lack of preparedness, low interest in mitigation, and taking inadequate precaution with potential ignition sources – the opposite of actions that are needed to become a fire-adapted community.”

    “Cascadia Burning: the historic, but not historically unprecedented, 2020 wildfires in the Pacific Northwest, USA,” PDF is online at:

  16. @ai6yr I want one too! We live in the wildland urban interface (WUI) in King County which adjoins the south side of Snohomish County.

    Just did a quick search and wound up chatting with a state staffer. Surprise!!! Turns out the King County Wildfire Protection Plan was approved earlier today.

    Might take a day or more but when I get a link I will certainly share it.

  21. #LaborMountainFire SW of Cashmere WA. This is on the east slopes of the Cascade Mountains. US highway 97 is closed.

    Dark red symbols are heat detections by satellite within prior 6 hours.

    The winds from the weekend have died down so hopefully the fire spread will slow down. At the time of my post the most recent perimeter data is several days old.
