California tends to get the most attention for forest fires, but it's important to remember it's a problem with the northern neighbors as well. Hard lines against logging combined with stewardship issues have not helped either.

Seattle had the worst air quality index in the world last week. I was there for work a few weeks ago and the plane descended through sky that looked like L.A. smog in the 1970s. They were warning old people and asthmatics not to go outside. It was sci-fi-level dystopian.
