If this trend continues, I'll have to rename the the blog "Complaints and Gripes." Seattle is surrounded on four sides by wildfires (California, Eastern Washington, Olympic Peninsula and British Columbia) and the weather conditions were ideal for another smoke storm. We have an unprecedented level of air pollution and no relief in sight until the end of the week.
Air quality is measured on a scale of 1-500, and Seattle is at 163 now. It's even worse in some places, and Amanda said Twisp reached a stunning 400+ at times this week.
Inside and out, everything feels and looks dirty. I try keeping the windows closed but it's hot, and there's a scrim of ash on every surface, inside and out. We're advised to stay inside with the air conditioning on, but so few people have it here.
Help!
