Port Angeles Air Quality

Maybe I was the last person to know this, but the cause of our Godawful air quality in the last week and a half — with southern California-style visibility — is a fire in British Columbia that’s been raging since May 29th.

The fire is near Lillooet, B.C., in the Cariboo Region north of Vancouver. As of three days ago, the fire had consumed 15,000 acres and was nowhere near being contained. There are also several other fires raging in British Columbia, including a much larger one near the Yukon border.

In addition to the air pollution, there seems to be a sticky sap-like residue on our porch, just in the past week or two. Has anybody else noticed this?

Since May 29, huh? Is anybody planning to put that fire out during our lifetimes? The dry parts of America's western states have huge fires every summer, but they get put out. Jeez Louise, what are they waiting for up there? The air around the peninsula is looking like Phoenix after it's been 110 degrees every day for a month.

Get on it.
