As Washington’s wildfire seasons grow longer and more intense, Spanish-speaking communities, many made up of migrant and seasonal farmworkers, are still being left out of critical safety messaging. In this episode, we follow Maria Blancas, a researcher who grew up in Quincy, and local advocates like Yesenia Perez from CAFÉ, as they work to close that gap. From bilingual bulletins to face-to-face outreach in labor camps, these community-led efforts are changing how wildfire information is shared—and who it reaches.
