This has been the summer of our discontent here in the Northwest. The pandemic threw any vacation plans into the dumpster. Now we have wildfires up and down the West Coast. The nearest fire to us is in Enumclaw, in southern King County; however, easterly winds are carrying smoke from the other side of the Cascade Mountains here. The view from our living room looks like a dreary December day without the rain. Air quality is very unhealthy. The poor air quality may increase susceptibility to Covid-19, to make matters worse. The only upside is that the heavy smoke cover has kept outdoor temperatures cool, so folks without air conditioning can keep windows shut without suffocating heat.
Stay cool and safe.
