A burn ban remains in effect for the Yakama Nation Reservation due to stagnant air conditions forecasted to continue in eastern Washington.

Green Tips

Plant a tree. Trees not only beautify your yard and increase the value of your home, they also absorb carbon dioxide pollutants and release oxygen into the air. A mature tree also helps shade your home from summer heat.
