I've got a few post-evacuation actions to follow up on: to improve my offsite computer backup, to stand up a VPN endpoint and Home Assistant that doesn't depend on the NAS (which I had packed up and taken with us), and make a sprinkler setting to just run all of the irrigation on repeat. But all in all, the evacuation went smoothly, and most importantly, ended well.
In the end, it was some disruption and time spent, but no immediate danger or loss of property. It actually turned out to be a good exercise in what we would need to grab and go in a future evacuation. We could have been out in 10 minutes if needed, but took longer to make sure we had what we wanted if we would be gone for a few days, not just what was essential. Many of our neighbors never left (the level 3 order was downgraded shortly after we had left).
I had actually stopped to get a picture of the fire on the way home, right before the first evacuation order!
That was an interesting few hours! I was on my way home from a hike when I heard that there was a level 3 (“GO NOW”) evacuation order at home due to a nearby wildfire m. I got home 10 minutes later, helped load up the car with the dogs and our emergency stuff, and turned around and left. We spent a few hours at a friend’s house and out to dinner, as crews worked on the fire and the evacuation order was downgraded to Level 2 and then Level 1. We just decided to come home and all evacuation orders have been lifted now.

If there are any OpenStreetMap contributors reading, I have an important correction that needs to be made regarding Spokane, Washington:
I used to live on the South Hill, and could walk to Moran Prairie Elementary School within 10 minutes. It was located at the base of the hill (the street I used to live on is highlighted in orange) However, on OpenStreetMap, it is showing Chase Middle School, which is much further away. I don't know how to edit OpenStreetMap, but there is an important correction that needs to be made here.
I have noted this error to be visible for over 2 months without any attempts to fix it.
The Spokane Spokesman-Review newspaper is going nonprofit:

Spokane is a big blue island in the mostly-very-low-population red part of Washington State. It's important that they haven't gone to some damn vulture fund operator or more some pink slime fascist noise machine.
Particularly if you're out on the dry side, you might throw them some support.
