Three cities in Washington have "great fires"…
1889 CE
The Great Seattle Fire destroys the entire central business district of Seattle on June 6.
The Great Ellensburg Fire of July 4 and 5 results in the city's bid to become the state capital ending in failure.
The Great Spokane Fire of August 4 destroys the city's downtown commercial district
Other fires this summer in the U.S. include the Great Bakersfield Fire of 1889, which destroys most of town (later reincorporated as a city) on July 7, and the Santiago Canyon Fire, which burns large parts of Orange County, Riverside County, and San Diego County during the last week of September.
