It’s a hazy day in Seattle. And that haze is smoke, coming here from a variety of sources, mostly from Eastern Washington. Outdoor activities are pretty challenging right now with the horrible air quality.
And it’s looking to get worse over the next few days. Hurray! cough cough
Key to adapting to and managing this situation: knowledge. I offer two sites I’m using for key details.
- Accuweather’s Air Quality Index. It shows the current air quality issues and is updated throughout the day.
- The Washington Smoke Information Blog. Says something that we have a need for such a blog.
Lest I get too whiny about these conditions, I recognize that many other areas in the west are far worse.

Or this one from San Francisco. (Via the San Francisco Chronicle).
How are you coping? Any tools you’re using that I should know about? Let me know.
