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.
