West Seattle weekend scene: Smoky sunset, as temperature tumbles

20160820_201107

Thanks to James Bratsanos for the smoky sunset photo – as noted here last night, four wildfires are burning on the Olympic Peninsula, all ignited weeks ago (here’s the newest information). Here in the city, conditions are improving – as of minutes ago, the “excessive heat warning” is officially over as scheduled, and tomorrow’s forecast is still for a high in the 70s, much closer to normal for this part of the summer.

    Imagine what centuries ago even less The First Nation must had interpreted forest fires in this region as.

    Um, as forest fires?

    Maybe as a message (presumably angry) from the gods?

    Why would Indians not know what forest fires are?  

Sorry, comment time is over.
