I knew California had a fire season (and this, too, only really arose during my lifetime) but did not know that Washington now also does too. :(

I live in Wenatchee, Aaron, and can attest to your feelings and experience. It is bad enough we lose so much light during the long winter months here, we need our healthy light and air in the summer months. This is all new compared to what we saw twenty or thirty years ago. We joke about having five seasons in Washington: Winter, Spring Summer, Fire, and Fall. But it is no joke. Every year the fires get closer to towns and more and more homes are burned. Wildfire notification apps on our cell phones shouldn't be the norm, but they are. Insurance agencies who no longer offer fire insurance on homes in some areas shouldn't either. :(
