The Retreat Fire is a wildfire near Rimrock Lake in Yakima County, Washington.

The fire began on July 23, 2024. As of July 26, 2024, it has burned over 13,000 acres (5,300 ha).[1]

The fire caused the closure of US-12 across White Pass, and "evacuate now" orders were issued to residents near Rimrock Lake on July 24.[2][3] Outdoor city amenities and events were closed in Yakima on July 25 due to poor air quality, which was "unhealthy" or "very unhealthy" for all people at monitoring stations across the Yakima Valley.[4][5] An emergency across Yakima County was declared by the government on July 26.[6]
