West Seattle weather: Another smoky sunset

Thanks to JayDee (above) and James Bratsanos (below) for the views of tonight’s sunset with smoke from the wildfires on the Olympic Peninsula.

Here’s the (updated) latest fire information. As for the weather here in West Seattle – the National Weather Service‘s “heat advisory” remains in effect until 8 pm Friday; tomorrow’s high is expected to be in the low 90s again – today’s high of 91 degrees at Sea-Tac broke the record for this date, which was 87 degrees in 1982.

That’s old info on the fire size from the Peninsula Daily News. Latest (yesterday) is that Hayes is 31319 acres, Godkin is 517, and the other two are still small. After today’s heat, those numbers will go up.

It’s actually nice to see them let the wilderness fires burn. The ecosystem needs the fire, and there’s a lot of fuel buildup in our local forests.
