Without steady state and federal funds, work to improve forest health can't happen, which includes controlled burns to reduce wildfire risk. The Washington Department of Natural Resources can't accept funds due to new terms that clash with state laws.

Glad that we have some mild weather compared to what could hit the East, but I would do unmentionable things to get some snow out here.
