Reply to comment by Twin_Peaks_Townie in Darrington WA trails out by mountain loop by justynebean

Darrington was rated past 450. We literally shut our doors, put towels in the base, locked our animals inside until absolutely necessary to let them out and we still suffered. This was the first fresh air we’ve gotten in over a month.

Edit: the smell of smoke will forever be an anxiety trigger for me now. This whole thing was awful for so many people. It’s scary to think what the future holds.

That must’ve been so horrible. I was absolutely miserable here in Snoqualmie, where we bounced between 120-245. Glad it’s over, and sorry that you guys had to go through it 🙁

It’s not over yet but I’m sure ready for the rain. As all of us are.

Hopefully tonight gets you guys back into the 30’s for AQI. I’m not sure if I hated the heat or the smoke more. This has definitely been my least favorite summer here in the past 10+ years of living here.

Been here 14 years and this has been the most abnormal weather I’ve ever seen. Gets more odd every year. My garden bloomed twice. I bet some of my bulbs won’t come up next year because of rot.
