Despite shifting incentives for EVs, our commitment to clean air remains. Diesel exhaust contributes significantly to health risks, and marginalized communities near major roadways are the most impacted. Learn more, pscleanair.gov/564/Electric-Vehicles-Infrastructure-Plannin

With the rainy weather starting next weel, air quality should remain good throughout the region. Visit pscleanair.gov for daily air quality forecast.

Air quality is currently UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS to UNHEALTHY in Eastern King and Snohomish Counties due to wildfire smoke. Westerly winds should return by Wednesday evening and help clear out the smoke. Visit www.pscleanair.gov for daily air forecasts.

Air quality is currently UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS to UNHEALTHY in South and East Snohomish and North and East King. Air quality in Pierce and Kitsap is expected to remain MODERATE. Visit pscleanair.gov for air quality updates.

For Sept 22-26 (Mon-Fri): Expect GOOD air quality on Monday. Starting Tuesday, easterly winds may lead to periods of MODERATE to UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS air quality from fires in the Cascades. We may also see smoke from the Bear Gulch Fire in the Olympics later in the week.

Air quality is expected to remain GOOD to MODERATE throughout the weekend. Smoke from the Bear Gulch Fire could lead to brief periods of MODERATE or UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS in Kitsap on Saturday. Rainy weather on Sunday should return air quality to GOOD levels in the region.

Join us in our online kickoff workshop for the draft regional Comprehensive Climate Action Plan on October 6th, 2025. We invite you to view the plan, provide input, and ask question. Register to attend the workshop here: www.pscleanair.gov/707/Comprehe...

Air quality in most of the region is GOOD to MODERATE today. Late afternoon may see another plume of smoke mixing down, with levels reaching USG or higher in Kitsap, Snohomish, and King counties. Evening winds should push most of the smoke out of the area by morning.

Wildfire smoke has reached ground level in Western King and Southern Snohomish Counties leading to UNHEALTHY or worse air quality. Fires in the Olympics and Cascades could also lead to intermittent UNHEALTHY air quality in Kitsap and Eastern King and Pierce Counties.

There is a lot of wildfire smoke overhead but the air quality on the ground is mostly GOOD to MODERATE levels today. Overnight, some smoke is expected to move west into the Cascades and the foothills.

Opening or running a business may require different permits to keep your operations safe and compliant. Visit our website www.pscleanair.gov/PermitsRegistration to see if you need to obtain certain air permits for your business.

Summer is winding down and it’s time to start thinking about heating season. If using that old wood stove is not in your plan, you may be interested in The Wood Stove Recycling Program set to start this fall. Visit www.pscleanair.gov/Woodstove to learn more.

Burning yard waste is not allowed at any time in urbanized areas in our jurisdiction. There are many alternatives on how to handle your yard waste, such as composting, chipping, or signing up for curbside yard waste pickup. For more information, please visit www.pscleanair.gov/OutdoorBurning

For Aug 15-18 (Fri-Mon): We are expecting GOOD air quality across the region. Rain on Friday should help dampen wildfire activity. Visit www.pscleanair.gov for the latest forecast.

The Bear Gulch Fire in the Olympics remains active, but wildfire smoke is more likely to move east and southeast. As a result, Kitsap, King, and Pierce counties will see air quality reaching UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS or worse. It is unlikely that smoke will noticeably impact Snohomish County.

For July 24-28: Expect GOOD air quality overall this weekend with westerly winds that should keep wildfire smoke out of our region.

At Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, we diligently monitor air quality every day to give you real-time forecasts. Before you plan to spend your time outdoors, make sure the air is on your side. Check daily forecast at www.pscleanair.gov

Did you know there is no set construction date that can be relied upon to determine that a building does not contain asbestos? Even some newly manufactured building materials imported into the country have been found to contain asbestos. Learn more about asbestos at www.pscleanair.gov/Asbestos

Though we don't regulate indoor air, we understand that you, your pets, and family value a comfortable and breathable home. We recommend having an air filter on and sealing your doors and windows during bad air days. See how to optimize your indoor air quality www.pscleanair.gov/IndoorAir

Before starting a renovation or demolition project, it's important to know whether asbestos is present. An asbestos survey can be performed by a certified AHERA inspector. To find one, search online for "asbestos survey inspector" in your area. Learn more at www.pscleanair.gov/AsbestosSurvey

We're expecting mostly GOOD air quality across the region this weekend and into early next week, thanks to sun and wind. Light to moderate wildfire smoke may drift overhead at times, causing hazy skies and brief spikes in air quality in some areas. For the latest forecast, visit pscleanair.gov.

Is your organization interested in upgrading your diesel fleet? PSCAA partners with fleet owners in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties to support diesel emission reduction project ideas and prepare strong regional applications for public grants. www.pscleanair.gov/252/Grant-Op...

We're celebrating cleaner air! Over 1,250 wood stoves across the Puget Sound region were voluntarily recycled through our latest wood smoke reduction program. It was a successful 2-year grant cycle, and we're not stopping here! Visit www.pscleanair.gov/woodstove to pre-enroll.

Curious about new construction projects in your area? Companies are required to notify us when starting certain projects. Stay informed and see the latest Notice of Construction updates on our website. www.pscleanair.gov/NewConstructionProjects

Bandanas and dust masks won’t cut it. When wildfire smoke is in the air, you need filtration. N95, KN95, and KF94 respirators are your best bet for blocking fine particles (PM2.5) that can damage your lungs. See www.pscleanair.gov/wildfires for more information during wildfire season

At AQI 200+, the air is dangerously polluted and can cause serious health effects for everyone. If you must go outside, wear an N95 mask. The best protection? Stay indoors with windows closed and an air purifier if you have one. Air quality matters-protect yourself and family! pscleanair.gov

An AQI of 151-200 is unhealthy for everyone. Even people in otherwise good health may experience some negative effects. On unhealthy days, you can limit outdoor activity, stay inside, keep your windows closed, and use air purifiers. If you must go out, an N95 mask is recommended.

Did you know: when the air quality index goes over 100, the risk for an asthma attack increases? Awareness can help you reduce that risk. By checking the AQI each day at pscleanair.gov, you can make a plan to minimize your exposure when air pollution increases. #AirAware
