Seattle has the worst air quality of any major city in the WORLD, falling behind capitals in India and China, due to wildfires - as iconic Mount Rainier becomes INVISIBLE behind layer of smoke
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] And then there’s the homeless problem, double that of two years ago with makeshift shelters lined up blocking the sidewalks...
  • Seattle had the worst air quality of all cities in the world on Wednesday and Thursday this week, beating out the usual contenders for the smoggy crown like Beijing and Delhi

  • The air quality index score in Seattle clocked in at a whopping 240 on Wednesday, which the air quality monitoring website IQAir qualifies as 'very unhealthy'

  • Scenes from Seattle showed the skyline shrouded in grey smoke which blotted out the sun and even nearby Mount Rainier

  • The acrid air was caused by forest fires raging in the nearby Cascade Mountains, coupled with successive weeks of abnormally hot and dry weather in the region

#4 The wildfires have been a huge problem in both Seattle and Portland since midsummer; hopefully the rain we are taking for our visit tomorrow will help.
