Lake Chelan fire offers ‘heartbreaking’ look into Washington state’s wildfire future - The Daily Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Little Giant fire jumped over Lake Chelan this weekend. It’s the kind of thing they warn you about when you’re training to become a firefighter, said Darren McMillin, a spokesperson for one of the out-of-state firefighting teams directed to Central Washington to battle the blaze north of Leavenworth. Typically, large bodies of water, like Chelan, act as a sort of natural barrier, stopping wildfires in their tracks and allowing crews to get a handle on the flames. But high winds and updrafts
Conditions that fuel Washington wildfires worse than normal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve felt the heat and now you’re seeing – or perhaps even smelling – the smoke. Washington’s wildfire season is well underway and scientists are saying the state has reached a dangerous period a month earlier than normal. This is the convergence of a poor winter snowpack, a warm spring chipping away at the state’s water supply and a hot, dry summer. This has compounded threats from the long-term accumulation of grasses, shrubs and trees that fuel wildfires across the region and generations of
Washington state’s Big Four’s Ice Caves could melt away for first time in memory - The Daily Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can tell a lot about a forest by the mosses, lichens and liverworts you find there. Some of these nonvascular plants, or bryophytes, even hint at changes to the towering geologic and ice formations to which they owe their existence. Miles Berkey squats and brushes his fingertips along a patch of lanky moss (Rhytidiadelphys loreus) growing at the base of a tall silver fir. A jeweler’s loupe dangles from a worn red lanyard around his neck. He uses the tool often to more closely inspect species

EPA to force the removal of leaking acids from deteriorating pulp mill along Chehalis River - The Daily Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SEATTLE — Federal regulators will force the removal of toxic, highly corrosive chemicals from a defunct and leaking pulp mill along the Chehalis River, officials confirmed this week. Either Richard Bassett, the U.K. businessman who owns Cosmo Specialty Fibers, must start removing vast quantities of these chemicals from the site this month or the Environmental Protection Agency will step in and take over. The mill, which sits about 100 miles southwest of Seattle, has been leaking hazardous chemic
