don't think it's hit the national news, but [[cough) we've been putting up with this [[wheeze).....
.....for almost 2 weeks since a line of thunderstorms came through and set about 200 fires in a 4 county area stretching from yakima through ellensburg and wenatchee to omak, wa [[gag). Above is a daytime picture of wenatchee's main drag. I'm about 8 miles south of there [[choke), and can't see across the columbia river for all the smoke.
Now, having said that, i have much admiration for the folks who go out and fight these things. It's dangerous, hot, dusty work, but if it wasn't for them, there's a good chance wenatchee would look a lot like the west side of colorado springs after the waldo canyon fire......
