Rattlesnake Mountain/ Hanford Area Fire
Okay, so the photo doesn't look like much, I'll explain.
What you are seeing from a window in our house is a fire that is currently burning on the Arid Land Ecological Reserve. This is on the Hanford Reservation, west of the Tri-Cities.
This is not exactly close, maybe 20 miles away as the birds fly. I saw the fire near the beginnings, around 3:30 today. Since then, the wind has really pushed it along and whipped it up to a frenzy.
Also, here is a link from Google to show the satellite view. It really is sad and impressive at the same time.
