Rainforest Fire in Washington May Be Ominous Sign The Queets rain forest in Washington state’s Olympic National Park is the American jungle — one of the last remnants of the primeval temperate rain forests that once stretched from southern Oregon to southeast Alaska. But now, that precious ecosystem may be endangered by fires, due to climate change and a punishing drought that has affected even the normally moist Pacific Northwest. Fires have burned holes into some of the trunks of the centuries-old Sitka spruce and western hemlock trees, causing the massive trees — some of them up to 250 feet tall — to come crashing to the ground, the Seattle Times reports. Yeah, its very sad. We have broken 100+ year records repeatedly over the past 3 months. The CA drought has expanded its grip into OR and WA state. Right now, the skies are hazy here because of smoke from wildfires in northern WA state and BC.
