Description
Robert Reale, the co-owner of North Cascades Inn and Upriver Grill, said he's noticed traffic dry up since fire activity picked up in North Cascades National Park.
"If it gets smoky some people still come to visit the great area and hopefully it's not a repeat of 2014 when you couldn't see across the road from the Newhalem fire," Reale said.
Reale said he's noticed some cancellations at his small hotel due to the fire, but despite that, rooms stay full as he does what he can to help crews on the frontlines.
"Any cancellations we get, we've been trying to get the fire crews, a lot of them are staying in tents, we try and get them into the hotel, whenever we do have a cancellation and feed them," Reale said. "This morning I ran a bunch of breakfast foods from the restaurant up to Newhalem."
