The Washington State Department of Transportation is closing the highway again for the same reason it did earlier this week and last month.
Debris from the wildfire, especially burned trees and rolling rocks, are in danger of falling onto the highway. Crews will identify and remove potential hazards.
U.S. 2 will close at 10 a.m. and will not reopen until about 6 p.m. The closure is between Grotto and the ranger station.Firefighters have been focusing on containment lines along the fire’s perimeter but have been letting the flames burn out in areas where there are no structures and the terrain is extremely dangerous.
“We can’t get folks up there to really knock that heat down because of all the potential hazards up there with trees falling and rocks rolling,” said Amanda Monthei with Western Washington Emergency Management. Evacuation guidance for the fire is no longer in place for those living in Snohomish and King counties.For updates on the Bolt Creek Fire,
