Air quality in the Seattle area has been terrible...I hate "fire season"! Can't wait for a good soaking rain!

I'd happily lend you some of ours. We've nothing but rain for the third year in a row. But at least there are no fires, indeed.

Cheers from Australia.

Yeah our forests don't recover after these fires... So sad to watch our cherished resources literally go up in flames

That's great to hear, mate!

Yeah, we seem to be getting a bit more rain to be on the safe side...There's not a patch of earth that's not soggy on the whole NSW coast.

Not to be rude but the air quality in Seattle has been better than the majority of the western United States….

I can imagine! This year up here hasn't been as bad as the past couple summers...but it's still nasty.
