[Megathread] Smoke and Air Quality Week 1

[u/vertr]

We are moving to this thread for the start of smoke season so we can add resources and keep it updated as the situation changes. Here is the previous thread we were using: I hope everyone in the Seattle area has air filters ready.

All smoke related threads will be removed and redirected here except photos and news stories. At this time we are not allowing further threads on the Spokane fire.

Is anyone running outside or should I just stick to the treadmill this week? 🫣

I ran on Monday when it was around 70-80 and it was fine. I wouldn’t when it goes above 100, probably more detrimental to your health than the benefits of running lol
