    If you’re in Oregon or Washington and west of the Cascades your house is worth what it’s valued. The wildfire threat almost entirely stops at the mountains.

    Unfortunately the smoke doesn’t but it looks like the rest of the continent is getting it lately too.

          It’s not affected by climate change, but it’s a risk which wasn’t known when a lot of the area was built up. There’s a very real potential of people realizing the risk and making decisions to reduce their exposure.
