WEST SEATTLE SUNSET: Dramatic departure at day’s end

Thanks for the views of tonight’s sunset, extra-dramatic with billowing clouds. We’ll admit we don’t know whether they’re clouds of smoke or just clouds, but it was quite a view either way. The photo above is from James Bratsanos; below, a wider view from Wyatt:

And this one’s from Chris Frankovich:

Today’s high at Sea-Tac tied a record for this date, 91; tomorrow, we’re supposed to be back in the 70s.

ADDED: Gretchen Flickinger sent this view of the “enhanced” Olympics:

    Smelling like smoke in Gatewood.

    Weird, freak, 1-day heat wave. It felt like a fall Santa Ana wind in San Diego.

    It is definitely smoke from Bear Gulch. These are not “pretty” I do not get why people think this. Climate devastation is just that. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
