Seattle Now: Smoke season
It was a rough weekend in Seattle. The city was enshrouded in a massive cloud of smoke.
The air was unsafe to breathe and the sky was the color of caramel. This smoke is mostly from fires in California and Oregon.
While we’re feeling some of the effects of the fires, others have had to flee and some have died.
KUOW correspondent Anna King gives us an update on the fires in Washington.
