The Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office reduced evacuation warning levels in portions of the Three Queens and Goat Fire areas on September 11, 2026, according to InciWeb.

The Three Queens Fire, located six miles east of Snoqualmie Pass in Kittitas County, and the Goat Fire, both on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, have seen improved containment as firefighters continue suppression efforts. The sheriff's office noted that the reduced evacuation levels apply to specific areas affected by the two fires.

Fire management officials report that the King Fire, in a remote wilderness area, and the Little Giant Fire, started by lightning on July 15, remain active but are not currently impacting evacuation levels. The Electric Fire on the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest is also active but outside the Okanogan–Omak area.
