Got to visit Cape Blanco…Oregon’s westernmost point…and one of the PNW’s windiest places, yesterday! It was pretty cool! #orwx #PNW
On behalf of the state of Washington, thank you to the firefighters, volunteers, and everyone coming together from across the state and the country to fight the Burdoin Fire. In White Salmon today, I saw an impressive level of coordination and professionalism.
Some more shots of @USCGNorthwest training near Air Station North Bend on Wednesday! Pretty cool to watch!




Neat sights on the southern Oregon coast on Wednesday! #orwx #OregonCoast




That face you make when you see @USCGNorthwest practicing repelling from a helicopter down a cliff in Coos Bay! Super cool! #CoastGuard

Beautiful Tuesday on the Oregon Coast! #orwx #photography

The #BurdoinFire is spreading rapidly on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, up to 8,776 acres in under 48 hours. Conditions look ripe for continued rapid spread, with low humidity and winds gusting to 25-35 mph again. Take caution in the region. #wawx




The sky looked like it had a cirrus brushstroke across it on Saturday evening in Federal Way! #wawx #dronephotography

Live look at the Burdoin Fire in Washington.
The Burdoin Fire quickly grew to 1,900 acres last night outside Bingen, Washington. High winds pushed the fire and it jumped Highway 14 at milepost 73. There was a state mobilization of resources including a Type 3 Team and additional resources. One local sent in footage before…
UPDATE: SR 142 is now CLOSED in both directions from MP 1 near Klickitat County Park to MP 4 near Knight Creek, due to the Burdoin Fire happening near Bingen and White Salmon. SR 14 remains CLOSED — plan ahead for an extended closure, use a different route and avoid the area.
SR 14 remains CLOSED from MP 66 near Bingen to MP 75.8 near SR 142 due to the Burdoin Fire. No ETA for reopening. Avoid the area! EB detour via Hood River Bridge. WB detour via US 97 Sam Hill Memorial Bridge or US 197 Dalles Bridge. Note: US 197 is CLOSED to commercial trucks.
