Expect hazy, smoky skies in parts of the Puget Sound region Tuesday and Wednesday.
Anna Lindeman, a National Weather Service Meteorologist in Seattle, believes it’s due to a change in the wind direction.
“Air is coming from the eastern Cascades, where we currently have several large, ongoing fires,” Lindeman said.
“We may see the unhealthy air quality happen in Snohomish County and in some parts of King County, especially the northern and eastern parts of King County and the southeastern parts of Snohomish County,” Carvlin said.
“It’s just in the last 10 years or so that we’ve been seeing this level of impacts.” He said wildfires are becoming more frequent and geographically closer to the Puget Sound region, including wildfires in the traditionally cooler, wetter western side of Washington State.
