WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — Forecasters with the Washington State Department of Ecology said yesterday, Monday, July 14, 2025, the smoke from wildfires in Canada is expected to make an appearance in Whatcom County.
Tomorrow winds from the northeast will push Canadian smoke into northwestern Washington (primarily eastern Whatcom, Skagit, and northern Snohomish counties). Most of the smoke will likely stay above us in the atmosphere but a fraction may mix down to the surface tomorrow afternoon leading to moderate air quality at worst. Haze may be noticeable across western Washington before westerly winds return on Thursday.
