Our promised rains better show up next week. I'm so tired of this endless summer.

This smoke is horrible, normally it would only happen in August.

We get it, you’re a mariners fa- oh you mean the wildfires. Right, yeah that’s bad too…

New normally it would be in August. In my 47 years living here I can’t think of a single summer with smoke before the 2010s onward.

Oh yeah, nice charred oakie aroma. And the ash is great for the skin.

Also The charcoal helps to whiten the teeth.

Clear on the west side today. AQI of 62 (vs 162 Saturday). Yet much warmer than yesterday.

I'm in Skagit Valley and it's super bad. As it has been for about 3 weeks.

We need the rain though. This isn’t the Washington I know and love.

I’m very surprised and impressed you could tell just from the church and the auto body shop.

I moved from MO, so I’m loving this weather every bit!

Just be ready for the rain. That’s what this state is know for.

Ha, understandable! I work in Eatonville.

Bremerton is pretty bad too, just in the 50 yds that is my backyard there's a decent amount of haze.

I never thought that I would actually wish for the rain to come, but I really hope it comes in
River_Hippie18 OP t1_ismgmmj wrote
It can make for some really cool photos but yeah, I’m done with this smoke and fires. This fire is new I believe and isn’t far from town.
Wellcraft19 t1_ismqgpr wrote
Yeah, heard Snohomish and north has seen much more of the smoke than the Seattle area.

Where is this?
Rocketgirl8097 t1_ismu69u wrote
Not on the east side of the state. Dry is normal for us, the high temps are just about 10-12 degrees higher than usual.

I assume you should get used to it. Hopefully I am wrong.

No way, lol. I moved from an endless summer state for a reason. The short but glorious PNW summers of the past are perfect!

As many others have said, air quality (and the AQI) vary much locally. Some of us are in protected 'valleys'. Others are in valleys so 'protected' they fill with smoke quickly.
