How to help those affected by the Bolt Creek Fire

Looking to help those affected by the local wildfires?

While progress is being made in extinguishing the Bolt Creek Fire currently overtaking ~9,600 acres of forest near Index, WA, only 5% has been contained.

Index residents have been under a Level 3 evacuation order — the most urgent level — for a few days and donations are still needed to assist those who have left their homes + for lost pets.

Here are some ways you can pitch in:

• Donate cash to the Red Cross or Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Center.
• Donate pet food, toys, water/food dishes, leashes + collars, towels or blankets to the Everett Animal Shelter.

Donation requests are regularly updated on the Snohomish County Public Safety Hub — along with information about the fires themselves.
