Significant fire growth sends smoke across the state Smoke from the Labor Mountain and Lower Sugarloaf Fires is spreading across Central Washington and the Cascades. Both fires grew significa...

WA Smoke blog has really good info about the current AQI wasmoke.blogspot.com/2025/09/sign... #wasmoke #wawx

#BearGulchFire is now at 15.751.8 acres as of 14 minutes ago. #wasmoke #wawx

Made it outside and wow is the moon orange #wawx #wasmoke

Folks Seattle southward could see AQI in the Moderate to perhaps USG range tonight from the #BearGulchFire. It appears the plume from the #MountUnderwoodFire will remain aloft, though I am curious to see if there's any subsidence east of the Cascades. #wawx #wawildfire #wasmoke

Also explains why my sinus hurts :( :( #wasmoke

As expected, the #BearGulchFire has been more active today and producing smoke visible around western Washington. Some may settle overnight, resulting in scattered Moderate air quality. Lake Cushman may see brief periods of Unhealthy air quality overnight. #wawx #wawildfire #wasmoke

The #PlacerCreekFire in B.C. and the #HopeFire in NE WA are expected to send smoke into the Columbia Basin this evening as strong N winds arrive. As winds turn NE, some smoke may trickle across the Cascades into W WA. Uncertain how much makes it to the surface. #wawx #wasmoke #wawildfire

NEW INCIDENT FROM THE WEEKEND
The #PomasFire is burning between Glacier Peak and Lake Chelan and is now up to 363 acres with 0% containment. Given the location and fuel conditions in the area, this fire could be on the landscape producing smoke for some time. #wawx #wawildfire #wasmoke

A new incident near Teanaway within the last hour is threatening structures near Red Bridge Road and SR-970, per @watchduty.org. This is being called the #RedBridgeFire and is beginning to produce a significant amount of smoke in the Kittitas Valley.

We've got a heavy smoke layer now which apparently marinated offshore before coming back inland. Which means it's still smoky smelling, but has than nasty acrid tinge of a fire that's just had water poured on it, which is extra gross. #WAsmoke
