All burn bans lifted

Published 10:18 am Monday, January 5, 2015

All burn bans were lifted in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties this weekend. With the help of rain and wind, air pollution levels everywhere dropped to “good” or lower “moderate.”

The current weather front will again help disperse our air pollution and keep levels low for the next 2-3 days.

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency would like to thank everyone who switched to alternative sources of heat instead of burning wood during these bans.  Children, the elderly, and people with chronic respiratory health problems especially appreciate your efforts.
