The Jolly Mountain fire near Cle Elum started Aug. 11 from lightning and has burned more than 5,000 acres.
Early Saturday morning, officials ordered Level 3 evacuations for all residences north of Double O Ranch all the way north to the Boulder Creek area.
Kittitas County Sheriff officials said they were conducting Level 2 evacuation notices in the Ronald and Roslyn areas.
"We ask that you stay out of the Level 3 (areas) and do not obstruct evacuation efforts," officials said Saturday.
Ronald and Roslyn are small, historic mining cities.
Level 2 evacuation orders mean residents should be ready to evacuate.
An evacuation shelter was opened in Cle Elum Wednesday evening for evacuees of the Jolly Mountain Fire. The shelter is open at the Putnam Centennial Center.

"Unfortunately, until we get prolonged rains in the fall, some of the largest fires -- especially in British Columbia -- will continue to burn," said KIRO 7 Pinpoint Meteorologist Morgan Palmer.
"When we have hotter weather and the flow of air isn't off the Pacific, we'll see some of the smoke sneak back into our area."
There's a red flag warning in the Cascades through Tuesday but no burn bans. Air quality is good in most places in western Washington. Check an interactive map to see specifically what the air quality is around your home here.
