Where Washington wildfires burn
The Okanogan highlands, Methow Valley, and Columbia Basin account for most of Washington's large fires, with the east slopes of the Cascades close behind. Westside fires are rarer but consequential when east winds align with dry fuels, and eastern-fire smoke regularly reaches the Puget Sound corridor.
