Management of the Loch Katrine Fire has been transferred to local agencies, The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center reported in a Friday afternoon update. The shift comes as cool and wet conditions across Western Washington have reduced fire danger to near the season normal.

Control was shifted from a Northwest Incident Management Team to the Washington Department of Natural Resources and the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest branch of the U.S. Forest Service late Wednesday.

The Loch Katrine Fire remained at 1,918 acres and 2% contained as of Friday, burning about 13 miles outside of North Bend, inside the Alpine Lake Wilderness Area.

The Loch Katrine Fire is limited to areas of heavy fuels that are decreasing with rainfall, according to a statement from the U.S. Forest Service. As of Wednesday, Oct. 26, 139 personnel remain working on the fire.

Alongside high temperatures, winds and low humidity the Loch Katrine Fire, which ignited in early September, became visible from Snoqualmie Ridge about two weeks ago.

The cause of the fire was still undetermined as of press time.

Alongside wet conditions, the Snoqualmie Pass saw its first snowfall of the season this week, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation, with four inches falling overnight Wednesday.
