The wildfires near Spokane have forced more than 65,000 people from their homes as fast-moving flames continue to spread across eastern Washington in what is the worst natural disaster ever in the area.
A convicted felon was arrested Monday night in connection with the Old Trails Fire in Spokane. The 37-year-old suspect, who has a previous conviction in Arizona for manslaughter, faces a first-degree arson charge.
The Old Trails Fire is one of three in the Spokane area and has burned hundreds of homes and thousands of acres.
Those wanting to support residents affected by the wildfires can donate on the Red Cross’ website, call (800) 733-2767, or text REDCROSS to 90999.
The Red Cross is also taking volunteers. For more information, go here.
Sydney Sweeney spotted in Sumner after ‘Euphoria’ series finale
In June, fresh off the conclusion of HBO’s three-season odyssey “Euphoria,” actress Sydney Sweeney was spotted in Sumner.
Sweeney has many ties to Sumner, as her grandparents live there while her father attended Sumner High School. Sumner has a population of just more than 10,000 people.
While Sweeney is not from Sumner, she was born in Spokane and grew up in the Idaho Panhandle along the Washington border. Her first acting role was as an extra for an independent film shot in Spokane.
Multiple businesses, including Dairy Freeze and Hometown Charm Cafe, posted about Sweeney’s surprise visit.
The owner of Hometown Charm Cafe said the two-time Emmy nominee came in with her grandparents and her boyfriend, music producer Scooter Braun. The cafe added that they’re “still smiling” after the visit.
