One such position is the Klickitat County Emergency Management Director No Klickitat County is not a metropolis, basically a rural county that borders the Columbia River. When I worked for Washington State Emergency Management Division I recall the summer fire season as being an active one with many grass fires in the area created by passing trains.
Thies look like an interesting position to me. A new facility and staff to work with and plenty of hazards to consider and plan for. Lots of sun and wind in those parts! don't let the salary scare you away. I'm sure the cost of living is about right for the pay they are offering.
