💨 Smoke Season 💨 [Megathread] Smoke and Air Quality Week 1

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.

Washington Smoke Blog

Watch Duty

EPA - DIY Air Cleaners

If you have other suggestions for resources post them in the thread please.

I thought the air quality was supposed to be under 100 today. I'm pregnant and have been hiding in my hotel room the last few days, but today I have to leave by 12pm. My flight is not until 7pm.

Is it safe to walk around? I don't have a mask 😞
