Unfortunately, the daily list-serv announcements for burn status arrive in my mailbox a day late. Until the state Department of Ecology begins posting their burn announcements on this site, you best direction for burn ban status is the following link. Feel free to contact the state Department of Ecology to determine when they will begin posting their information here.
