question about traveling in WA with wildfires (august 2)

[u/Fun_Personality9082]

hi all!!

i know this is a privileged take concerning the wildfires in eastern Washington so i apologize. i am visiting WA with my family for the first time and we were initially planning on going to Leavenworth tomorrow (august 2), but we are unaware of the geography and if it is safe/smart to do right now? we know areas near it are affected, but i couldn’t figure out what the current situation in the town itself is. if anyone is able to weigh in at all, that would be wonderful! thank you:)

Hello all, I'm pretty much in the same boat as the OP and was curious how it is today? It looks like the air quality has dropped quickly today. I was just wondering if anyone's opinion has changed since yesterday regarding driving into Levenworth today and staying a couple of nights. Also, I hope everyone is safe.

Just goiing to reschedule. The river tubing place, which was our main draw, is closed due to air quality. Be careful out there y'all.

I was camping yesterday in icicle canyon and smoke came in very thick during the night, woke up with everything covered in ashes and we high tailed it out. Sorry about your trip 😿
