A Stage 2 Complete Burn Ban has been enacted countywide, including Snoqualmie, effective immediately, to address heightened fire risks in the region.

Residents are encouraged to comply with these restrictions to protect their homes and communities. The burn ban reflects a growing concern over fire safety amid ongoing drought conditions that have elevated fire danger levels.
