is a joke. So, yesterday they announced that today (Christmas) at 5 pm there will be a Stage 1 burn ban in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties due to air stagnation and unhealthy pollution levels. I checked the current air quality and every city listed on their profile in King county is in the "good" range, but yet they are forecasting worse for today. So, their forecasting is off? I live in Fall City and nearby North Bend has an AQI Air Quality Index of 19 (0-50) is good. But I can't have a fire.
I can understand if the levels are at bad levels, but the organization pulls the plug when the levels aren't bad or pulls the plug on all of King County when eastern King County is always good.
Thanks Puget Sound Clean Air Agency for ruining some families Christmas evenings when they would like to have a fire, make some smores, and enjoy the outdoors.
I wonder what the agency does all year long? Just sit around and wait for a chance to pull the plug when it's not applicable?
