| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | After an anomalous period of strong offshore flow and warm, dry weather, numerous wildfires ignited across the Pacific Northwest. As the large scale weather pattern began to shift into mid September, conditions become favorable for the advection of smoke across most of Washington. This results in a period of poor air quality. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The ignition of multiple wildfires across the Pacific Northwest around Labor Day led to a period of poor air quality by mid-September as dense smoke combined with low level moisture and fog. Alaska Airlines suspended all flights to and from airports in Seattle and Portland, a Seattle Mariners game vs the San Fransisco Giants was postponed due to poor air quality, and all city of Seattle beaches, boat ramps, parks, and play fields closed amidst poor air quality around Sept 15. Many COVID19 sites also closed due to poor air quality. Dense smoke, haze, and poor air quality remained a problem for days across all of Washington. |
