The Seattle times reported that we were 6 inches below average in recent rainfall and had the driest May on record since 1966. So it's likely we'll have more fires in the fall. Normally we have moderate weather because the wind blows from the coast to the east. But when we have a low pressure event, it sucks the wind from BC and Eastern Washington toward the west. Even when we don't have smoke here in the concentrated Seattle area, it's affecting millions of people across the state and the country. All those people east of the Cascades are getting it worse.
