Story by Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, July 27, 2023
"A wildfire that started in #Klickitat County, Washington, on Friday afternoon destroyed more than 30,000 acres in less than a day and continues to grow as it feeds on brush, grass and forest vegetation.
"Fire crews are working to extinguish the #NewellRoadWildfire near #Bickleton, which has resulted in the evacuation of residents in the rural area, and is threatening #farms, #livestock, #homes and #wind and #SolarFarms, reported KOMO News.
"'It's very difficult terrain to fight fire,' said Allen Lebovitz, a spokesperson for the state's Department of Natural Resources, as Reuters reported. 'We are under a red flag warning. That's a #firefighter's worst nightmare because the #humidity is dropping precipitously. The winds are picking up. And so the fire carries extremely fast.'
"The wildfire is burning just to the north of where the #Oregon-Washington border is represented by the #ColumbiaRiver. It has destroyed several structures and is threatening a #NaturalGas #pipeline.
"Lebovitz said the fire was heading in the direction of the #Yakama Indian Reservation."

July 1, 2023
"A recent admission that contaminated soil at the 324 Building at the #Hanford National Lab site was much worse than previously estimated raised concerns this week. A ballpark conversion of the radiation level cited in the article was roughly 1,780 sieverts per hour.
"How did this defunct building at Hanford end up with such #radioactive soil contamination beneath it? The 324 Building housed hot labs including the B Cell. This large hot lab did various experiments including using liquified highly radioactive #Strontium 90 and #cesium 137 extracted from high burnup spent #nuclear fuel. This highly radioactive liquid was used in vitrification experiments, a technology to isolate nuclear waste. The B Cell had a history of spills, fires and equipment failures that lead to significant contamination of the facility and ground beneath it.
"The Department of Energy cites that the waste sump for this hot cell was found to have a breach in it that likely allowed waste to leak out of the facility. There also was a history of spills of this highly radioactive liquid extract of spent fuel."

This piece by Native journalist 'Toastie' Oaster uses the words and photography of Yakama tribal member Lew George to open a little window on a life spent fishing for salmon on the Columbia River.

West Coast Motorbike Trip 1996
A view of the Columbia River with my little Kawasaki sport bike heavily laden with camping gear. I was living in SSF and rode up the interior routes to visit friends in Portland, then down the coast back home.
The panniers are from an earlier bicycle trip from Seattle to SF, but I haven't scanned those photos, yet.

Sing to the Coast Guard in charge of the waves
On the treacherous Columbia Highways and caves
Where conditions are tough
And training is rough
They bring rescue and bravery to these watery graves

From #SauvieIsland, just north of Portland where the #WillametteRiver flows into the #ColumbiaRiver. We were fortunate to be there between rain showers. We also had excellent views of #BaldEagle, #HarrierHawk, #Kestrel, #SnowGoose, #Shoveler, #Widgeon, #CanvasBack, #Coot, #Swan, #Egret, and #GreatBlueHeron.
