Smoke and Heat Hit Western Washington | Seattle News

Western Washington’s facing a brutal double whammy: wildfire smoke rolling in from the east and a relentless heatwave pushing temps into the 90s. With air quality at moderate to unhealthy levels and no AC for many, residents are forced to choose between smoky air and overheating. Health officials urge everyone to filter indoor air, limit outdoor time, and seek cooling centers—especially for the elderly and kids. Stay alert: smoke may linger through Wednesday, but cleaner air could arrive later. And drivers hauling trailers? Secure your chains—sparks can ignite new fires. Stay safe, stay informed.
