LOCAL FIRE RISK • Cle Elum

Wildfire Conditions in Cle Elum

Cle Elum and the surrounding Upper Kittitas County region regularly experience elevated wildfire risk during Central Washington fire season due to dry vegetation, forest density, drought conditions, and increasingly active fire seasons east of the Cascades. Smoke impacts, poor air quality, and evacuation concerns have become common during the summer and early fall months.

Air Quality & Smoke

Residents in Cle Elum frequently monitor wildfire smoke conditions and AQI levels during fire season, especially when regional fires impact air quality throughout Kittitas County and surrounding communities.

Fire Risk & Dry Conditions

Low snowpack, drought conditions, dry grasses, and warm summer temperatures can significantly increase wildfire potential throughout the Cle Elum area during peak fire season.

Evacuation Readiness

Preparing evacuation plans, emergency alerts, access routes, and defensible space improvements can help property owners improve wildfire readiness before fire activity escalates.

Fire Preparedness

Defensible space helps reduce combustible vegetation near homes, cabins, and outbuildings while improving wildfire preparedness and helping slow the spread of fire near structures.
