Allyn, WA
How exposed is Allyn to wildfire?

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Allyn at the 30th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Allyn's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Allyn (55.6% of 1,045 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 42.8% sit in the Direct zone.

Hardening a home in Allyn
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Allyn (55.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
