Can’t find anything about the I90 fire. Maybe it’s too small to report about?

How did I miss that? Glad they contained it so quickly.

Plus the Puget Sound Convergence Zone (PSCZ) often hits hard in that area.

That’s not uncommon. Look at Hart’s Pass, it’s hard to believe half of that is in Western Washington.

I saw 3 guys camped in ALW on Sat and when I came out yesterday, I walked to the spot they were camped to pick up any garbage. They had made a fire ring where they had a fire. idiots

Lots of smoke in Seattle today.
Because it's "useful to know the world around us," I sniffed the air at great length to determine where, exactly, this smoke is coming from. It is 12% Stayman, 36% Bolt Creek, 41% Goat Rocks with a piquant of Chilliwack mixed with a remainder of Boulder Mountain.

It’s definitely a reminder that we are all connected, like it or not. And what can we do about it? I find that it does make me feel better to be more proactive and like Sky Hiker did, check on campsites I come across to make sure the fire has been put completely out in addition to picking up garbage. More often now, I am dismantling fire rings that are illegal and/or in a stupid location. I know they will rebuild them again, but it’s a way for me to at least do something. If I don’t take responsibility for other people’s stupidity, then who else will?
The challenge for me is how do I approach and talk to people who have illegal campfires? We met some young hunters who packed in with horses and were camped not far from us near Andrews Pass a couple of weeks ago. They were very friendly and we had a nice visit with them as we walked past their camp on a dayhike from our camp. At the end of the day when we came back, they were sitting around a bonfire…in the bone dry Pasayten…breathing smoke from the Parks fire in addition to their own fire. The only thing that kept me from going over to talk to them was that they were in a meadow by Spanish Creek which had already burned. I worried about it the next day though, because they were still there when we packed up and left, so I couldn’t check to see if the fire was completely out.
Any thoughts/suggestions on this dilemma?

How does something like that start?
I can only conclude that it is due to a tossed cigarette, or illegal camping. What else could it be?

There's a homeless encampment there (or was), but that photo is not from today.
