Washington state wildfires usually mean fires in the eastern and central parts of the state. Dry forests, low rain, and the terrain there make it easy for fires to spread. You see this in the Columbia Basin, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests, and near the foothills of the Cascade Range. Wenatchee, Yakima, Ellensburg, and parts of the Tri-Cities are the population centers often cited as affected. Rural and semi-rural communities take the biggest hit because they sit right on the wildland-urban interface. Seattle and Spokane don't get burned directly as often. They still deal with bad air quality and the chaos of evacuations. This isn't about one specific recent fire. It’s just the general pattern based on established facts.
