2025 Washington wildfires
Date(s)June 2025 – present
Season
← 2024

The 2025 Washington wildfire season is an ongoing series of wildfires in the U.S. state of Washington.

Background

Further information: List of Washington wildfires

While the typical "fire season" in Washington varies every year based on weather conditions, most wildfires occur in between July and October.[1] However, hotter, drier conditions can allow wildfires to start outside of these boundaries. Wildfires tend to start at these times of the year after moisture from winter and spring precipitation dries up. Vegetation and overall conditions are the hottest and driest in these periods. The increase of vegetation can make the fires spread easier.[2]

Events

Predictions for the 2024 fire season made by the National Interagency Fire Center in May 2025 included above normal fire danger across the entire state of Washington by August, one of only two U.S. states so predicted (the other was Oregon).[3] The Washington State Department of Natural Resources stated that the 2025 fire season could begin as soon as June.[4]

The Red Bridge Fire near Cle Elum burned 60 acres (24 ha) by June 9, including two structures.[5] Immediate evacuations were ordered on June 9.[6]

A fire in the Tumwater Canyon of the Wenatchee River closed U.S. Highway 2 on June 10.[7]
