The Three Queens Fire, located six miles east of Snoqualmie Pass on Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, has prompted expanded evacuations as fire behavior intensifies. Strong winds are driving flames across fuels in high elevation subalpine fir areas above Lake Kachess.

Kittitas County Sheriff's Office has issued Level 3, 2, and 1 evacuations. Residents are urged to monitor the Kittitas County Emergency Management live evacuation map and Sheriff's Facebook page for real-time updates.
