DNR Monitoring Wildfire Burning Near Wenatchee

WENATCHEE, WA — The Washington State Department of Natural Resources is reporting one of the first major wildfires of the wildfire season just outside of Wenatchee.

There have been no reports of burned structures or evacuations near the fire thus far. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
