Gov. Bob Ferguson was there on Sunday to see the impact as he requests both short- and long-term federal help.

A Sunday morning drive northwest of downtown Spokane revealed the Spokane Complex Fire had ravaged countless homes in her parents' neighborhood. Their family home of 15 years was one of just a few still standing on the block.
