And shower (more) often, especially if you spend a lot of time outside.
Yep. I've been hosing off our cars every night when I water the garden.
This round is Central/Eastern WA, BC and now also California.
Argh! Woke up with red eyes and a scratchy throat, even with all the windows closed for the past 3 days. I'm in Redmond and we have it good compared to a lot of places.
I see. Thanks guys. As one from the midwest and south florida, wildfires and its effects are a new experience for me.
The fires are a fairly normal thing in the summer up and down the west coast, but the smoke and the scope of the fires has been increasing in recent years due to climate change.

While my wife is in Boston this week for work, my daughter and I have been camping out in sleeping bags in our basement. Our bedrooms are on the top floor of our (very hot brick) house, and while we have portable AC units in each room, we need to have the windows open to vent out the hot air from the machine. So basement it is.

Are they single tube portable units? Those only blow air out, so they should be OK. If they are two tube units that have a recirculate option, they should be OK as well.
They only blow air out, but I slept up there on Monday night and still felt like hell in the morning with itchy eyes and sore throat since my bed is right next to the window. Plus we're having fun "camping" in the basement.

Those units do create a negative pressure, so outside air will seep in through windows and doors unless they are really well sealed.
I've got a 1932 Brick Tudor. We have new windows but still, there's no way it's well sealed.
Yes.
Random thought: I'm downtown at 1st Pike Starbucks and have seen 6 other black guys. 3 of them were homeless, one in a Batman onesie and a sign that's asking for money for crack and a "fat bitch". While I appreciate his honesty...Feels fucking bad
That's a beautiful picture, Irnbru.Escaping the damn smoke by kayaking next to mt Saint Helens and the going down to the Oregon coast this weekend
Also, apparently my brown don't crack genes are strong out here, everybody thinks I'm younger than 18, like wut.
Hey, does anyone know if Nintendo will do a Nindies Showcase event this year?
Spent the weekend camping at Marblemount, got home and it smelled more like smoke in Seattle than it did next to our campfire.
Care to elaborate? I like visiting up there.
If it's related to your comments about downtown Seattle, yeah, the PNW is pretty white. (Vancouver does have a large Asian population, though) A lot of minorities are being pushed out of the city and into the suburbs due to increased property values/rents/etc.

Bin 941 and Tavola have great food. There's good ramen in Vancouver. Alibi Room rules. Awesome craft beer scene (seriously, they're 100 miles from us and it's completely different up there. Yay for distribution laws). I like going for a run at Stanley Park. [shrug]

Southeast Alaska here! I just wanted to say I feel more akin to Seattle than the rest of Alaska. it rains here all year too! (no smoke though...)
Hye guys! I'm coming to Seattle from Thursday to Wednesday! Never been there before so I'm excited! I haven't even done any research on what to do! Ahhhh!!!
What kinds of things do you like doing? What kind of food? Outdoorsey stuff? Nerdy stuff? Touristy stuff?
I only like going for the night market. Otherwise I don't know why it gets so much rage.
Also, weather was nice today at least
"Dry" is the best way I can put it.
I was floating around downtown on a Saturday night and it looked like a Wednesday night in Cleveland. Streets were slow in terms of activity, clubs did not appear to be poppin. That weird mall next to Rogers Arena was like a reflection of the whole experience. Looked like it should be lively, full of people...but wasn't. I was wholly unimpressed. The fact that the city has like 6,000 black folk in it total doesn't help.
Basically I was looking for justification for the claim of it being "the most livable city" in north America. I saw boredom. I saw miles of homelessness. I saw mediocre, old homes that probably cost too much. I don't remember seeing much of anything in the way of good public transportation (subways, etc.), though I wasn't looking for them much.
It was like half the speed of Seattle, without anything to make up for it. I only spent a few days there, so I'm sure there was some I missed. But I have no desire to go back after it.
