An emergency was declared for much of the state



OLYMPIA — Following the second-driest spring since record-keeping began in 1895, and a heat wave that has killed at least 91 people, Gov. Jay Inslee declared a sweeping drought emergency for most of Washington.

There is little hope for relief before fall. According to the Office of the State Climatologist, the three-month outlook for July through September shows increased chances of above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation for the entire state.

In Western Washington, there is an oasis, of sorts.

So far, most of Snohomish County has been spared from the drought, along with parts of King and Pierce counties.
