Red Flag Warning Hits Western WA | Seattle News

Western Washington’s on high alert as the first Red Flag Warning of the season hits—dry air, strong winds, and possible thunderstorms mean wildfire risk is extreme. Lightning strikes could ignite new fires or fan existing ones, especially near the Cascades and Olympics. Fire officials urge extreme caution: obey burn bans, avoid sparks, and stay vigilant outdoors. The danger isn’t limited to the west—central and eastern Washington are already under watch, with crews on high alert through Saturday. Plan smart, check local restrictions, and stay safe.
