The Southwest Washington Clean Air Agency’s air pollution advisory is still in effect throughout Southwest Washington, including Clark and Skamania counties.

The agency reports: “Continued intrusions of wildfire smoke, stagnant conditions and hot weather throughout Clark, Cowlitz, Lewis, Skamania and Wahkiakum Counties and elevated afternoon ozone levels in Clark County will cause air quality to reach unhealthy levels at times” until mid-day Friday, Sept. 8.
