Reply to comment by in-game_sext in Air quality around Seattle ranked worst in the world by SounderBruce

That's the whole point. Late wildfire season, with lots of fires smoldering in inaccessible areas, turned a normally high air quality place into the worst.

The wildfire season wasn't even bad, in terms of acres burned, but anecdotally I think the smoke was still pretty bad. Not the worst ever for sure, but not the best either (I think)

2020 was worse, I feel.

In 2020 the Portland Metro hit nearly 400. AQI hit black in some areas. But this is still horrible.

I remember seeing pictures from Prince George. That place was legit Mordor in 2020.

2020 had more concentrated super-bad days but it wasn't a straight month of unhealthy air.
