There was less smoke in the air on Sunday in Seattle than the night before, but that may be a matter of the wind, as the Bolt Creek fire an hour away remains active with no changes overnight.
The air quality index in Seattle was 111, which is “unhealthy for sensitive people,” down from 159 on Saturday, which is unhealthy for all. The air quality is supposed to be “good” on Monday.
Woods Creek in Snohomish County registered an AQI of 298, which currently ranks in the top places with the worst air in the U.S.
