Officials say stay inside: Unhealthy air through Wednesday

EVERETT — Unhealthy air quality might stick around through Wednesday, according to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.

“You don’t have to be an atmospheric scientist to notice that the air quality has deteriorated markedly in the last 24 hours,” Dr. Chris Spitters, the county’s top health officer, said during a Tuesday news briefing. In north Everett Tuesday morning, the brown haze made it difficult to see the islands of Puget Sound.

Smoke from more than two dozen wildfires in central and eastern Washington, as well as some in Canada, covered north Puget Sound Monday night.

As of Tuesday afternoon, nine large wildfires blazed across the state, Washington Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz said at a news conference with Gov. Jay Inslee.
