Snohomish, WALocal News

The National Weather Service has declared a Red Flag Warning for Snohomish County, effective July 16, 2025, from 11 a. m. to 11 p. m. , due to extreme fire danger linked to hot, dry conditions.

This warning prohibits all outdoor fires, including recreational ones, to mitigate fire risks. The existing burn ban, which has been in effect since July 1, 2025, continues alongside the Red Flag Warning and applies to the entire county. All outdoor burn permits, including those for agricultural burning issued by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, are suspended until further notice. The burn ban will remain in effect until there is a sustained period of rainfall to reduce the fire danger. Residents can check the National Weather Service for updates and further information.

The Snohomish County Department of Planning and Development Services oversees these regulations and is located at 3000 Rockefeller Ave. , Everett, WA. For inquiries, residents may contact the Outdoor Burning Information Hotline at 425-388-3508.
