Significant wildfire smoke from British Columbia remains in our region, and is expected through Friday. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is continuing a Stage 1 air quality burn ban for King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties.

This ban is in effect until further notice.

With winds from British Columbia moving wildfire smoke into our region, air pollution levels have become UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS and UNHEALTHY in many parts of Puget Sound. We expect these conditions to continue at least through Friday and possibly longer.

The purpose of the burn ban is to reduce any additional harm to sensitive populations and the general public from excess air pollution, in addition to existing fire safety burn bans. The Clean Air Agency will continue to closely monitor the situation for purposes of air quality burn bans.

Sunrise in the haze

We get some of our most beautiful sunrise and sunset photos when there is pollution in the air. 

Ironic, isn't it?

Mike Remarcke has an east-facing view and gets up early. He shared this somewhat eerie photo of this morning's sunrise with the sky full of smoke from fires in Canada and Washington.

Hours later, the sun was setting through the haze over Puget Sound when Marc Weinberg took this photo off Richmond Beach.

The smoke is expected to linger for a few days until the winds shift. See today's WeatherWatcher for more information.

Photos: National Night Out gets bigger and better every year


By Diane Hettrick
Photos by Steven H. Robinson

There were 74 registered block parties in Shoreline for National Night Out on Tuesday, August 1. A few might have slipped through without registering, if they didn't want to close a street.

I didn't get a count, but Lake Forest Park has embraced NNO for years.




It's fun to see all the new groups forming. The Northridge neighborhood in Echo Lake did an all-neighborhood party for the first time. The well-established block parties, like the Ridgecrest group that Steve photographed, just seem to get bigger and better every year.


The gatherings are a great place for people who want to maintain contact. For example, the Ridgecrest party had firefighters with a truck, police officers, including Community Outreach Officer Paula Bates, politician Jill Brady, Schools Superintendent Rebecca Miner and her husband, and probably others I didn't see.



There were balloons, play tables for the little ones, lots of good food, and a casual, laid-back atmosphere where people talked and got to know each other.

And that's the whole point. If you know your neighbors, you know what is normal and usual. You know who lives in the house. You know if they are planning to move - so you call 911 when you see someone moving all the furniture out of the house. And if you are wrong and they are just getting new furniture, the police officers will be very courteous and let them know how lucky they are to have such caring neighbors.

Plan to have a block party next year. You don't have to do anything elaborate - just set up some tables and have a potluck on the street.

So You'd Like to Understand this "Climate Crisis" Business?

Saturday, August 5, 2-4pm, Mountlake Terrace Library, 23300 58th Ave W, Mountlake Terrace 98043

A few details on this critical subject for non-scientists, skeptics, and the "I'm just confused!"

We see extreme weather elsewhere and think, "It can't happen here"; we see colder temperatures and think, "There's no global warming”; we see data and climate models and think, "That's just a model." 

Well, this presentation of images, videos, graphs, and the good work globally and locally to counteract it may just change your mind.

There is hope, and we have to work at it!

Presented by Linda Khandro, who recently trained with the Climate Reality Project as a member of the Leadership Corps, and is qualified to use the materials provided for public education by the Climate Reality Project. As a college instructor, she is a highly experienced lecturer, using a variety of materials in her slide show presentations with data, imagery, videos, and a healthy dose of humor!

WeatherWatcher: Air Quality Alert, Stage 1 Burn Ban, Excessive Heat Warning

Smoky sunset at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park on August 11, 2014.
Photo by Carl Dinse.

  • Forecast
  • Air quality alert
  • Excessive Heat Warning
  • Stage 1 burn ban
Forecast: Never in my time have I ever read a forecast from the National Weather Service that called for smoke, or areas of smoke. That is what we are dealing with among a whole list of other issues caused by our heat wave weather pattern this week.

In general we are looking at otherwise clear skies through at least next Wednesday. Smoke is in the forecast through at least Thursday afternoon.

High temperatures are not going to be as hot as originally forecasted earlier this week, mostly due to the smoke reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the ground. For Thursday, I'd be slightly surprised if we broke the 90°F mark in Shoreline. We are looking at highs in the upper 80's for the most part for our warmest day. Thursday night - Friday we are cooling down a little bit and the onshore flow will start to clear out this smoke problem we've been having.

Weekend and early next week we are resuming near seasonal temperatures with highs in the upper 70's to low 80's and lows in the mid to upper 50's. Clear skies continue, as far as models indicate.

The origin of our smoky weather is related to our heatwave. A thermal trough developed south of Seattle as forecasted. The low pressure generated winds from the north, cutting off the flow of Pacific ocean air and bringing us the heat we were expecting. British Columbia has dozens of wildfires in the mountain forests right now, producing large plumes of smoke. With that northern wind came along all that smoke. 

Air Quality Alert: An air quality alert has been issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology and is in effect through Friday. Smoke from wildfires is expected to remain in the area through Friday, producing moderate to unhealthy air conditions. It is advised to limit outdoor activity especially for children, elderly and people with respiratory problems. Most locations today at times have been hazardous enough to be considered unhealthy for all.

Washington Department of Ecology has a blog set up documenting and talking about the smoke problems located here.

Excessive heat warning issued by the National Weather Service remains in effect until 9pm Friday evening. 

Stage 1 Burn Ban has been issued by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. All outdoor burning is prohibited until air quality improves. The burn ban is effective August 2nd, 4pm PDT and is in effect until further notice. This ban is in addition to the existing fire safety burn bans. Puget Sound Clean Air also states the air pollution levels have become unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Air pollution warning

Afternoon satellite image of smoke over Washington 8-1-17

According to WeatherWatcher Carl Dinse, the National Weather Service is calling the forecast as “Tonight: Clear, areas of smoke.”

Carl says he has never seen a forecast like that.

The problem is the smoke from wildfires in Washington and British Columbia moving south in the the Puget Sound area.

The northern counties were named, with smoke possible as far south as Snohomish county on our northern border.

Air quality will vary from good to unhealthy for sensitive groups. Children, the elderly, and those with respiratory illnesses are the most at risk.

Kenmore Air Harbor fined for dangerous waste violations

Kenmore Air Harbor is between Bothell Way,
the Burke Gilman Trail and Lake Washington
Kenmore Air Harbor's aircraft maintenance facility on the Lake Washington waterfront faces a $25,000 state environmental penalty for dangerous waste violations. 

The Washington Department of Ecology issued the fine to Kenmore Air Harbor, 6321 NE 175th St, after observing repeated violations in regular inspections since 2009.

The most recent violations were found during an inspection on Aug. 17, 2016.

The company maintains float planes at the facility.

“With Kenmore Air’s location right on the lake there’s very little room for error in managing dangerous wastes,” said Darin Rice, manager of Ecology’s Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction program. 
“They’ve cooperated and made corrections after past inspections, but four of those violations have re-appeared at least twice in subsequent inspections.”

Ecology is fining the company for failing to determine whether its wastes should be designated as dangerous waste, properly label and close all its dangerous waste containers, and keep required records of dangerous waste shipments.

Washington’s dangerous waste law and regulations set standards to protect the public and the environment by preventing releases of potentially harmful waste materials at commercial and industrial facilities. Ecology inspects workplaces that generate dangerous wastes to ensure compliance with requirements for safe handling and storage.

“We immediately responded to Ecology’s August 2016 inspection report with changes to procedures and training that we believe will keep our Air Harbor facility in compliance,” said Todd Banks, Kenmore Air President. 
“We’ve been committed to sustaining and nurturing the Pacific Northwest since our founding in 1946. Our business and employees genuinely care about a healthy environment. We intend to work collaboratively with Ecology to ensure that our operation continues to meet all required environmental standards.”

Ecology penalties may be appealed within 30 days to the Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board. Kenmore Air has informed Ecology that the company intends to file such an appeal.

By Maryn Wynne

Under clear blue sunny skies, Shoreline Solar Project celebrated the 14th annual NW SolarFest July 22 at Shoreline Community College.

Visitors came from all over the region to learn about the latest in sustainability products and services, participate in workshops, and enjoy the festival setting. Over 70 exhibitors including businesses and nonprofits participated.

Tiny House Expeditions from North Carolina

The festival welcomed special guests Alexis Stephens and Christian Parsons of Tiny House Expeditions from North Carolina who visited with their self-built tiny home. Shoreline was one of many stops in their 25,000 mile journey around the US, sharing their film “Living Tiny Legally”.

Susan Bernado and Courtenay Fletcher

Author/Illustrator Susan Bernado and Courtenay Fletcher flew up from California to share their children’s book “The Big Adventures of Tiny House” inspired by Alexis and Christian’s house. They also did a reading at Third Place Books on Sunday and explored Seattle before their next destination.

Electric cars and bikes

Electric vehicles and electric bikes filled the Transportation Zone. Visitors were excited to support SolarFest by purchasing a chance to win an electric bike by the Presenting Sponsor Rad Power Bikes.

Raffle winner now has an electric bike for her commute
The raffle winner is delighted to incorporate the new bicycle into her daily commute.

Home Depot had a Building Zone for the kids

The KIDZone was a safe place to run through the grass, make an energy pledge and play with solar cars. It sounded like Santa’s workshop with all the building activities at the Home Depot booth.

Friday Afternoon at the Movies hosted by Scarecrow Video


Friday Afternoon at the Movies, August 4, 1:00-4 pm, FREE


Hosted by Scarecrow Video, the Silver Cinema Project is an opportunity to enjoy and then discuss golden age Hollywood classics. Each screening is introduced by a Scarecrow expert. This month’s film is It Happened One Night, Frank Capra’s acclaimed romantic comedy starring Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable.

Ellie Andrews has just tied the knot with society aviator King Westley when she is whisked away to her father's yacht and out of King's clutches. Ellie jumps ship and eventually winds up on a bus headed back to her husband. Reluctantly she must accept the help of out-of- work reporter Peter Warne. Actually, Warne doesn't give her any choice: either she sticks with him until he gets her back to her husband, or he'll blow the whistle on Ellie to her father. Either way, Peter gets what (he thinks!) he wants .... a really juicy newspaper story. --imdb.com

NEW this month! The Senior Center has new, better speakers to help make your movie day experience even better! 

Plus we have AC! More reasons for you to come and enjoy an Afternoon at the Movies!
