All Level 1, 2 and 3 evacuation orders for the Three Queens, King and Goat Fires have been lifted. Kittitas County officials said that although evacuations have been lifted, many nearby areas are still under closure orders from the U.S. Forest Service. Visitors are urged to check closures on the Forest Service website before entering the area.

Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office officials said the Three Queens Fire is 45% contained and is staffed with smokejumpers and local firefighting resources. Creeping and smoldering fire has been spotted in areas where firefighters cannot reach, and smoke persists despite cooler temperatures. Although some rain has fallen, firefighters said conditions are unseasonably dry and the rain has not significantly impacted the fire.

KCSO officials said the Forest Service fire area will likely remain closed to the public until fire season is finally over in order to protect public safety.
