  Seattle’s position west of the Cascades often offers protection from extreme wildfires—but not from their smoke. Every summer, wildfires in Eastern Washington, British Columbia, and Oregon send thick plumes of smoke drifting across Puget Sound, blanketing the city in haze.

As Salt Lake City heads into summer, the dry conditions that define our climate begin to pose a serious threat—wildfire smoke. You don’t have to live in the mountains or near a canyon to be affected.
