Ainslie, and so far, so good. The fires started near Boston Bar and North Bend, but wind has been pushing them further away. Firefighters are focussing their efforts on building firebreaks between the burn areas and the towns. The burn areas themselves will probably serve as fire breaks between the flame front and the towns should the wind shift. Plus, there are burn scars in the directions the fires are currently headed, meaning I expect the fires to decrease in intensity when they reach those areas. So overall, I am cautiously optimistic.

Limited east of 405 on Friday... but earlier clearing on Saturday as the low clouds quickly retreat to the northwest. Totally sunny on Sunday.

There were no more Seattle games scheduled either way. Round of 16 was the last one. I wouldn't be shocked though if in 2038 when the World Cup likely comes back, Seattle will get to host some of the semi and quarter final games. Seemed pretty widely agreed upon that it was one of the best host cities of the world cup.

Days are nice and long here.

Headed to Bend on Friday for the Widespread Panic shows this weekend. Outdoor shows. looks nice/hot, mid to upper 80s for the day, low/mid 50s night
