Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson has led major consumer protection and anti-corruption actions while shaping criminal justice policy and tech-regulation initiatives. In current events, he is not directly tied to the Spokane wildfires; the latest wildfire news reflects state emergency response under ongoing climate and disaster-management challenges in eastern Washington.
Wildfires near Spokane have expanded to more than 8.2 square miles as weather worsens, prompting evacuations, emergency declarations, and power shutoffs. Officials warn winds could intensify, complicating containment efforts and threatening more structures.
