Smoke is back: air quality deemed unhealthy for all groups

The smoke cloud from Oregon and California has arrived in Seattle, making the air quality index rise to unhealthy levels.

The AQI for Seattle today is 177, a level deemed unhealthy for all groups. Outdoor exercise isn’t recommended, and doors and windows should be shut.

Here's the forecast we've been dreading: A huge mass of smoke from wildfires in OR and CA has been building up off the coast. It's now headed our way. W. WA, SW WA, the Columbia Basin and Spokane will wake up to "unhealthy" air quality Friday. Forecast – https://t.co/IssTBsWkU9 pic.twitter.com/THDjf3VvUp

The political climate is also unhealthy for all groups. Stay indoors and vote by mail

There is NO “political climate” here. It’s all a 1 way highway. AKA: authoritarianism/totalitarianism. True diversity and inclusion would require Jay Inslee being forced to comment on this city going to crap. But thanks for the motherly advice though.

  Various factually tenuous statements. Hyperbole. Fomenting against Democrats. Something something something. Preposterous claims of conspiracy. All caps words. And that other thing.
