The Bolt Creek fire continues to burn Wednesday morning, and its smoke has blanketed the northwestern part of the state with smoke, resulting in unhealthy levels of air quality for the region.
While the fire just north of Skykomish has been largely contained by crews working with the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Natural Resources, “clear skies and slightly higher temperatures created a drying trend … resulting in … smoldering of vegetation,” a spokesperson for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center wrote in an update on the Bolt Creek fire.
While air quality in northwestern Washington suffers Tuesday morning — the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has rated it unhealthy for sensitive groups — conditions are“A change in the overall weather pattern is underway. In the past few days, we have had an east-to-west air flow across the Cascades, bringing the wildfire smoke from events in the mountains westward,” said KIRO Newsradio meteorologist Ted Buehner.
