Kittitas (pronounced 'KITT-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Kittitas County, WA - 09/01/2020 - Kittitas County Sheriff's Office has initiated level 1 and 2 evacuation notices in the Umptanum and Durr Road areas and has closed the Umptanum Road at the top of the ridge.
The large smoke plume to the South is The Evans Canyon Fire, which originated in Yakima County, and is now burning in Kittitas County as well. We are asking people to avoid the Umtanum area. Deputies are working with Yakima County and the DNR. We will provide updates as information and/or evacuation levels change.
