For your #WaterfallWednesday one of my favorite waterfalls along Staircase Road,
#staircaserapids #olympicnationalpark The #beargulchfire indefinitely closed the road into this area. I don't know if this waterfall exists anymore. May you appreciate Nature’s poetry wherever you are. #PoetryOfNature

Amazing news from the #BearGulchFire site. Crews on scene officially confirmed on Facebook that the fire is 100% contained. Although this is great news, this fire will leave long lasting impacts... such as debris flows, dangerous areas due to fallen trees, rocks, loose soil #wawx

The largest wildfire on the Olympic Peninsula in over 70 years is now 100% contained! Great to hear that the #BearGulchFire is gone…although the restoration will go on for quite awhile. #wawx

Moderate rain and even snow at the very top of the Olympics this morning and lasting into a good part of today with some heavier showers here and there later today!This will certainly help out fires across a lot of the state,certainly the #TunnelCreekFire and #BearGulchFire #wawx

It was such a joy to step outside around midnight and discover that it was raining! There may have been dinging and dancing involved.

Living near the #BearGulchFire, it’s been a very rough week dealing with the intense smoke.

I'm so tired of seeing wildfire smoke. 😷 It absolutely breaks my heart.

The #BearGulchFire in the Olympic National Forest has burned over 19k acres, and is only 9% contained. It's almost doubled in a week.

It's been beautiful weather, but dammit this drought can fuuuuuuuuck off already.

Smoke from the #BearGulchFire was thick as haar yesterday, and lingers this morning in areas of the Pacific Northwest. A dangerous air particulants advisory was put out yesterday - its such a sad situation. Improvement is forecasted for today. Desperate for some rain 🌧 😪

Decent amount of surface smoke from the #BearGulchFire across the South and Central Sound today, especially along Hood Canal. Some of this will mix out today with SW winds ahead of our incoming rain! #wawx

On my way home from the pool I looked west to the Olympic Mountains to see them enveloped and the mountain tops disappeared in reddish tinted smoke. #BearGulchFire. I would have got out of the car to take a pic but was afraid it would trigger an asthma attack. That fire looks devastating now.

Blanket of ash that fell on B.C.’s capital region was not from Mount St. Helens: officials Speculation swirled Wednesday morning as ash fell from the smoky sky in B.C.’s capital region.

Very bad news about the Bear Gulch Fire in Washington. It flared up yesterday and burned almost 2x the fire's size.

#BearGulchFire

9:45 AM view of smoke draped across the Olympics from Federal Way, as the #BearGulchFire was active all night, and still has a large smoke plume blowing north across the Olympic Peninsula and into British Columbia. Stay tuned as another active day is likely. #wawx

WOW…MASSIVE GROWTH Tuesday & overnight on the #BearGulchFire. Heat signatures show a HUGE area that burned northward as the pyrocumulus cloud blew up yesterday. Waiting for any new acreage estimates, but the new area burned is almost 2x the fire’s size. Just incredible. #wawx
