Hwy 97 Still Closed Because of Fire Near Satus Pass
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — U.S. Highway 97 remains closed because of a wildfire near Satus Pass. The state Department of Transportation says the highway is closed between the towns of Toppenish and Goldendale. That's because flames and smoke are making for hazardous driving conditions. The state Department of Natural Resources says the fire grew to about 3.1 square miles yesterday and is zero percent contained. It is burning in a remote area and no structures have been destroyed.
