We are having an up close and personal relationship with a small wildfire out our back door 1/4- 1/2 mile away. Anyone who saw seattle local news last night got a good look at my neck of the woods here between Arlington and Granite Falls. Started about 3 PM yesterday and us locals have no clue how! I most of us in the area are relatively safe, since there is a wide gully with beaver ponds between us and it, but I was up 'till 2 last night helping my one nieghbor remove valuables. What a time for the batteries in the camera to puke, but I did get a couple. Will try to post some later!
