office has responsibility for all Washington State DNR Southeast Region
lands, Yakama IA, and DOE Hanford. The southern boundary is I-90 for that
part of the Yakima Firing Center in Kittitas County then follows county
lines west to east across Grant, Adams, and Whitman Counties. The western
part of the district boundary is the Columbia River at the Grant County
line. The northern boundary is the same as previous years following the
Columbia River to the eastern Ferry County then south across the northeast
part of Lincoln County to I-2 near Davenport then east to the Spokane
County line. Fuels in this district consist of mainly grass and sage.
Zone 673 includes the Waterville Plateau which contains low ridges and
coulees’. Most of the district is at fairly low elevations between
900 and 3,000 ft...with the exception being Badger Mountain near Waterville
at 4,221 feet. Due to the relatively low elevations and locations, this
is the warmest and driest district. Winds in some areas can be very strong.
Lightning activity is the least of the districts, averaging about 6 storm-days
per season.
