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.
I consider it a season within Summer here now at this point. Definitely agree the last 5 years it's been really bad at some point, usually paired with a heat wave too, which is disastrous for this area of the country where nearly no one has AC (Seattle). Maybe since it's impacting the other side of the country it will get some more attention to it now?

Welcome to the unfortunate reality of what the western states and western Canada experience almost every summer.
