In a highly unusual twist of fate, Western Washington now faces a far-greater risk for 'above-average' wildfires this summer than most of Eastern Washington. Cooler temperatures and rain doused chances for wildfires on Tuesday, but firefighters said conditions are still a lot drier than they would like. In fact, one said our vegetation is already as dry as what we typically see in mid-July. Severe drought conditions and a below-average snowpack mean a higher-risk wildfire season. Lieutenant Brad Chaney with South King County Fire called it "extreme."
