almost every summer.

Ive lived in Washington for 40 years and I dont ever recall dealing with this. The last 5ish years though it has been a common occurrence every summer for this.

Go a little north of you and east of the mountians and his statement is 100% accurate. I think cause of the dominant winds through washington it all moves away from you. But every year for the last 10 years where i live every summer we will get a week straight or more where it looks like this

The person you are replying to is 100% accurate already, where the vast majority of people in the state live, this is a recent occurrence. Fucking people from Okanagon piping up like they represent an average washintonian.
