Good morning, Port Angeles.

Firefighters responded to multiple brush fires along Highway 101 east of Deer Park Road late today and quickly controlled the flames around 6:18 p.m. with help from Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue, district crews, and DNR while investigators began probing the cause.

On Tuesday, human bones were reported on the beach east of Port Angeles near Morse Creek—a site known for previous Native American remains.

Officials, including the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, responded promptly and have taken photos to guide the ongoing investigation into the site's historical significance.

Officials from Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest declared fire season after weeks of hot, dry weather (small fires from abandoned campfires were addressed) and urge visitors to fully douse campfires and follow safety rules on federal lands.

Clallam County is planning to apply for a Heritage Fund grant to restore the original bailiff chair from the historic courthouse; county staff are working with Seattle experts and may also include another antique chair in the project.
