Steve & Julie...your friends should do fine if they take I90 from the East rather than go through the upper par t of the state. Unless the state has even more fires, that route shpuld be fine. It's a pretty straight shot into Seattle using 90. Always best to check weather on a daily basis under these conditions regardless.

So this doesn't keep getting lost....
Help for WA Firefighters and Fire Victims

Sid (in MN) thoughtfully asked if I could formulate a list of organizations that are helping assist with the Firefighters, Families of Fire Fighters and Victims of the Chelan and Okanagan Complex Fires currently burning in Washington State so as to be able to offer help and donations.

I called Judith and she stopped at the Chelan Fire Station and got this list:`

Routing Across WA

As I see on the "events" map inside that link, I am wondering if they can make it by heading to Seattle from the south part of the State? Regardless, they are now alerted to the smoke issues and potential shifts that may affect their travels. We are all praying for Ty and Erin! Thank you all, S & J
I-90 all the way may not be a good idea this week. There is a part of it that loops up to Spokane and that's a bit further north than I would suggest right now,

Safest route to avoid smoke and other issues might be to link up with the I-84 in Lewiston, ID, follow that to Portlandia (Great trip through the Columbia Gorge, a real plus), and then up to Seattle on the I-5. A bit longer, but still great hiway all the way.

OR one could follow the I-84 to the I-82 near Umatilla, OR and connect to the I-90 from there.

Unfortunately, if they are already well invested in the I-90 from the east, there aren't a lot of choices available.
