Heat Wave Hits Western Washington | Seattle News

Western Washington’s heat wave is hitting hard, with dangerous temps, smoky air, and wildfire risks across the Puget Sound region — and the heat advisory won’t lift until 11 p.m. Wednesday. Nearly half of King County homes lack air conditioning, sparking a rush for fans and portable units. Experts advise keeping indoor temps around 78°F and using fans strategically to circulate air. While many head to beaches and parks to cool off, officials warn of hidden dangers — especially after a kayaker’s tragic death last week, when no life jackets were worn. Temperatures should drop into the 70s by the weekend. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
