How could you it’s like every year now :( :( :(

Yeah and in addition to what other commentor said, last year 2022 Sept-Oct was basically TWO MONTHS of poor AQ too with some days being the worst AQ in the world as well. This 2020 photo is just one example of MANY years with BAD wildfire smoke air. 2018, 2017, 2015, 2013…. The list of years affected goes on…. I LOATHE wildfire season SO MUCH it truly is a hinge factor for me (aside from housing costs and mega dark minimal sun winters) for maybe not wanting to be here long term. For those of you here who aren’t aware, this is a very real problem and public health issue in WA/the US West. Breathing in PM2.5 fine particulates is extremely hazardous to your health. Smoke here makes you feel inflamed, fatigued, short of breath, eyes burn, coughing, cranky, sick…. Especially hard on asthma, elderly, children and pets. Businesses and schools close. It seeps in through every crack into your home. Air purifiers sell out. Really not good on many levels. Just FYI.

Final update: The Auburn Humane society is where he was found, I believe he ran away from my dads friends place and has been there for about a month and sadly he’s been adopted. The shelter tried making a plea for me to the adoptees but to no avail, they did not want to relinquish ownership to me. It’s truly demoralizing. I also don’t have documentation proving I own him either… Thank you everyone who has posted kind words and tried to help. Definitely restored some of my faith in humanity haha.

If only it were that simple

Okay great! I can plan to go during or after Spring Break.

you should be fine, my dad went to a shop and chose one he wanted for the tint and it’s darker than 24% on a big truck. an older accord should be no issue. my altima was fine darker and never got pulled over for it. they aren’t really strict unless you’re driving reckless, then they will try to go after you for that

Its a 2000 honda accord, probably one of the lamest cars ever lmao. By no means is it loud or flashly, just a grandma car tbh. Im really doing this to make me less likely to be a victim of car theft.

what type of car do you have? if it’s close enough to legally loud (not too far over), not overly flashy and you drive decently safe, you should be fine. I know many of my car friends who have tinted 15-20% with loud but not overly flashy cars

This and the 2021 heat dome make me dread summer a little bit.

I know this is smog and stuff, but that looks sick.

me too!!

Western Washington didn’t get out either, only very briefly in September and it wasn’t bad at all. What a blessing! Hope it continues this year.

Yes I have driven too Long Beach to see my grandparents for the last 30 years and had named it evergreen island/almost there island. I never knew it had a name! But I automatically thought that’s what this was when I saw it.

What a beautiful building where such terrible policy is made....

I moved to Seattle the day after the smoke cleared. I feel pretty lucky I missed one.
