Bob Ferguson has declared a statewide emergency and requested FEMA help, while officials warn winds and dry conditions could keep the next days dangerous.

State Policy Crosscurrents: Separate from the disaster, the Senate is still blocking a daylight saving time fix, leaving the Nov. 1 clock change in place despite medical groups’ push for permanent standard time. Sports Culture Fight: Caitlin Clark weighed in briefly on Sophie Cunningham’s transgender-athlete controversy, again deferring to leagues and governing bodies—keeping the debate front and center in Washington-area sports coverage.
