  1. What would the air quality be for this Friday from 5 AM to 8 PM. We are planning to do a through hike for the Enchantments. Will the air quality be OK or should we postpone it? We do not want to risk our health if it is unsafe. Thanks for keeping this updated!

  2. It looks like Spokane should see clearing late tonight. Then tomorrow afternoon you should expect smoke again but should be cleared out when you wake up Saturday morning.

    1. Very close to a large fire, some minor and sporadic relief here & there is the best you can hope for.

  5. Hello! We are supposed to be going to Manson tomorrow for a week - is the air quality the same there as in Chelan? should we expect red/unhealthy all week? Thanks for this site, it has been so helpful over the years!

    2. Both Manson & Chelan are so close to large fires and are unlikely to have Good air in the next week.

  6. Hi my 13 year old daughter and I had planned to come in Sunday early am for 10 days mainly hiking Olympic and north cascades parks plus the San Juan Islands and do a whole watch poor air quality effects me since I was sick with cancer plus we wanted some of those pretty views flying all the way from NY for our first time to the area too iffy should I cancel?

    1. Cant forecast for 10 days, but I can say that given the # of fires around, you're unlikely to see pristine views. Some clearing here & there, and it doesnt seem likely that we'll return to the terrible air in western WA in the next week.
