Wildfire Anxiety Builds In Vulnerable Regions In Pacific Northwest

While it's been a wet spring in most of the country, things are looking dryer than normal in parts of the Pacific Northwest. Washington Gov.

It was the largest wildfire in state history. From KUOW in Seattle, Ashley Ahearn (@aahearn) reports.
