I-90 Remains Partially Closed Due To Wildfire: WSP
The 3,000-acre Boylston Fire was burning across about 3,000 acres in Eastern Washington.
ELLENSBURG, WA - Eastbound I-90 was still closed Friday morning due to the Boylston Fire, which was burning across about 3,000 acres in Kittitas County.
I-90 was closed in both directions until around 6 a.m. Friday. Multiple fire crews were on scene trying to get the fire under control. The fire is located west of the Columbia River and east of Ellensburg.
#BoylstonFire Update: I90 will remain closed both directions (EB 115 & WB 136) until 6 AM due to extreme unpredictable fire behavior and wind. At 6 AM, the fire situation will be reassessed. The plan is to open WB I90 only and keep the EB detour.
