Well, your car looks great! I have family up in Burlington and Mt Vernon and Sedro Woolley. Beautiful area. Chance of rain every day.

Hope they get that put out.

I've never seen a fire season this bad, and I'm a lifelong PNW resident. 38 separate active fires in OR/WA; 240,000+ acres in one 'fire complex' alone; 5,000 homes are in danger in a very remote area of WA state; there has been a request for volunteer citizen firefighters (something I have *never* seen) as they cannot contain the fires with the number of firefighters they have.

Check this out to get a sense of the extent of the fires in OR/WA/ID:
