The Retreat Fire, which began on July 23 in the Rimrock area of Washington, is currently 85% contained and has burned 45,601 acres as of August 19. According to the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, most of the fire southwest of Naches is under control, though some areas and roads, including WDFW’s Wildlife Creek Area and sites along the Tieton River and U.S. Highway 12, will remain closed until at least September 23 due to safety concerns. The closures impact activities such as rock climbing, hunting, scouting, and fishing, and will be reassessed after the expiration date.
