Imagine raising a family in a place where good schools and safe neighborhoods come standard — that's what Washington state has to offer.

With all the cities and towns of the United States vying for a spot in the top 50, one place in Washington made the list of "best places to live."

The largest fire, the Beam Road fire east of Zillah is currently estimated at nearly 9,000 acres with 42% containment.

Safety. It's something we all think about and we all hope the place where we live in a safe city.

The blaze forced about 3,000 residents to leave their homes on Sunday and the Larch Corrections Center, a prison was evacuated as well.
