Just wow.

I just got back from the Seattle area. I was visiting friends in the Bonney lake area and that is where one of the really bad fires burned for quite a while. We were blocked from using highway 410 for a while. VERY smoky. Afterward, there was a lot of charring on the side of the road on 410 and 167.
Both were arson and one of the guys, as most people know, livestreamed himself starting it. But I believe that was one of the smaller fires (the one on 167).
One thing that amazed me was that, because the pacific northwest is wetter than much of the California coast, there were a lot of evergreen trees that were only burned at the bottom, while all the brush was burned up. Only a few trees looked like they had been burned up and killed.
