SPOKANE The state Department of Ecology on Thursday issued a drought advisory for most of Washington, including all areas east of the Cascade Range, portions of southwest Washington and the Washington coast.
March through April was the fourth driest such period for Washington since 1895, the agency said.
That raised concerns for farmers and ranchers in eastern Washington. Early observations of crop stress and expectations for reduced yields are being reported, said Water Resources Planner Jeff Marti.
Marti warned against getting too optimistic after recent rain in the Spokane area.
