'Stay indoors when possible': Air quality 'unhealthy' for downtown, North Seattle

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Air quality sensors in downtown and North Seattle are showing that air quality levels are at the “unhealthy” level, according to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, which said people in those areas should stay inside when possible.

“Near surface smoke that’s led to reduced air quality in the region will remain in the area today,” the National Weather Service tweeted at 8:16 a.m. on Wednesday.

The conditions in Seattle are a result of a plume of smoke from the Bolt Creek Fire, according to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.

“Winds are blowing from Skykomish west to Everett, then south to downtown. Stay indoors when possible,” the agency tweeted.

Weather: Wildfire smoke fills the air as summer countdown dwindles

The season finale of summer will be sun-filled and seasonably warm, but it may be tough to enjoy with the smoke-filled air caused by the Bolt Creek Fire near Skykomish.

Paine Field in Everett has reported smoke in the air for the past 48 hours. Again overnight, a subtle offshore breeze continues to carry smoke into parts of the Puget Sound lowlands.



While some are waking up to a campfire smell in the air, a cleansing north breeze will hopefully be able to scale back the smoke over much of the area Wednesday afternoon, and most certainly by tonight as the wind flips onshore to scour out any smoke lingering across the lowlands.

A few sprinkles could form over the far southern Cascades Wednesday evening as the next storm passes well off to the east. All we will see locally are a few clouds that could potentially impede the Puget Sound view of the International Space Station flyover at 8:52 p.m. Wednesday.

1. So sorry, mama!

You may recall I live to your east (near Wenatchee). Toxic air due to wildfire smoke is a pretty common factor of summer here.

I feel your pain!

I have a couple really good air purifying cleaners ready to go at all times.

Hang tough!
