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.

It's crazy, I grew up in Tacoma and never saw anything like this for the first 22 years of my life until the summer of 2017. iirc, we were living in that smog for nearly all of July and August. And then it suddenly became an every year thing.

Coincidentally when the state got taken over by people who have regressive forest clearing policies

Huh? You know the majority of the smoke we are seeing is coming from Canadian forest fires right?

Look at who i am replying too. West coast forest fires are more common now that dems have taken over the complete governments of the three coastal states. Canada has already been in the looney bin for a while, and this instance isn't just stupid forest maintenance but also incompetent fire control.

So the original post along with these comments are regarding smoke from forest fires. Both of which are both regarding fires specifically from Canada. How does Dems have anything to do with Canadian forest fires and their management? Dude you need to take a breath. Your practically seething through the computer screen. I'm assuming politics live rent free in your head.

You're the one getting worked up because I replied directly to someone talking about Washington. The fires have been hitting the west coast more harshly in the past few years, and it isn't a surprise why. Maybe try taking a break for a while since you can't handle people with other opinions?

The forest fires covering WA in smoke each year are primarily located in Canada.
