    Air quality is really poor today as well, stay safe y’all

    WSB – Possible to add AQI to these daily reports/weather? It’s pretty bad today. Was supposed to be clear per AQI sites a few days ago :(

      That’s only going to be an issue for one more day this week but sure, tomorrow I can add the standing link to the map that we’ve been linking to in standalone stories.

      Can’t wait for some relief.  There are currently 230+ readings scattered throughout West Seattle!

    A link in the future smokey days would be great but as WSB says we only have one more day and then the RAIN & COLD temps will be with us again.  No more outdoor watering.

    Has anyone heard when SDOT plans to update/repaint the lane markings on Admiral Way (on the hill where they repaved last month)? I emailed SDOT, but haven’t heard anything back.

Sorry, comment time is over.
