Washington state has reported its first outbreak of bird flu in dairy cows, detected in Whatcom County. Health and agriculture officials are monitoring the herd and reassuring the public that the commercial milk supply remains safe thanks to pasteurization. The finding comes as H5N1 continues to spread through dairy herds in multiple states, raising ongoing questions about transmission to farm workers and the risk to livestock.
