Anybody by chance have a breakdown or know where I can find it

The numbers for those that were fired from the forest service in Washington state for each region or section such as the Wenatchee Okanagan the Olympic Mount Baker Snoquslmie
So far I’ve inly been able to find other than the number overall has been Montana said 340 people in Missoula area
And I don’t know if that included hot shots, smoke jumpers, etc. that would be nice to know for our area

4. Be aware, in all these Fed firings, it is likely they will be forced to rebalance staffing across regions.

Whether it is WA state and the Forest Service, Dept of Ag or any IRS office, if one area got hit harder than others in the buy out resignations or firings, Trump's lackeys taking over will have to maintain some more or less equal level of service and will have to transfer (or rehire) personnel or something to at least pretend to be effective. When whatever downside for understaffing starts showing itself in red districts like eastern WA/OR or elsewhere, the chickens will start coming home to roost for GOP House reps. Hoping that helps us retake the House in 2026 !!!
