20-mile section of Pacific Crest Trail reopens in Snohomish County

DARRINGTON — The U.S. Forest Service reopened about 20 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail last week as wildfires in the Glacier Peak Wilderness began dying down.

The Dome Peak fire in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, which sparked in late July, originally caused the Forest Service to close the PCT between Suiattle Pass and High Bridge.

At 1,076 acres Tuesday, the Dome Peak fire received significant rain last week, the Forest Service noted in a press release.

Forest Service officials said the Chocolate Creek and Kindy Creek fires, at 38 and 197 acres respectively, also benefited from recent precipitation. Officials expect increased humidity, lower temperatures and possibly more rain to continue tamping down fires.
