Re: Never have I experienced such Toxic filthy air like right now in Seattle area!

I'm in the south bay area of SF. Our air quality has been so bad. It pretty much started with the lightning fires on August 16. One was over the hill from me and, thankfully, didn't come across that hill.

I can't imagine being close to the fires and smoke.  I'm in the midwest and we now have quite a haze from the smoke but it's nothing like out west.  I pray the west gets a good rain to help put out the fires.

@Caligurll, that is so unbelievable. The graphic really brings it all home.

The Bobcat fires in SoCal is only two miles now from the Wilson Observatory.

Wow, no need to jump on @SeaMaiden for her post.  She's just reporting what conditions are like in her area.  Nothing to indicate that she is uncaring about others who are in worse situations.  Totally uncalled for.

The Seattle Mariners game tonight has been postponed due to poor air quality.  I wish it would hurry up and rain ☔️

It sure looks better at my house.  I can actually see some blue sky.
