An investigation is underway after Umatilla County Sheriff's Rescue crews and Umatilla Tribal Police recovered skeletal remains in a remote area southeast of Pendleton. Monday morning around 8am crews ventured into a ravine area to recover what are said to be adult sized skeletal remains, they were found in the Poverty Flatts area, about 18 miles southeast of town...

A hiker from Vancouver, WA who was in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest just North of the Columbia River discovered the body late last week. The remains have now been positively identified as a man wanted for stealing a truck and leading authorities on a high speed chase.

Due to the high fire danger, a number of Eastern Washington counties face restrictions.
