False Stories in the New York Times and the Seattle Times on Western Washington Megafires

Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story that was blatantly false, with the Seattle Times featuring it as well.
 
The claim:  that Western Washington will experience more "megafires" due to human-caused global warming (climate change). 

Unfortunately, the writer of this story (a Washington State stringer for the NY Times) failed to examine the historical record or the best science, getting the essential facts wrong.
 
How do I know the writer got it wrong? 

Because for the past two years, I have researched this very issue and just published a paper on this topic in the peer-reviewed literature (here).  I have read every paper and report on this issue.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
