Last night's sunset over Puget Sound had an eerie look to it. The hazy overcast, the deep orange sun, and the scent of smoke in the air convinced all but the most skeptical there were forest fires burning nearby.
According to the local television news, the fires affecting Western Washington originated in British Columbia, Canada. See the links below for more information.
Here is a video of a recent wildfire in the Lake Chelan [Washington state] area. You can see what a wildfire looks like at a distance from the freeway, and also see closeups of firefighting via helicopter. [If traveling in BC or Washington, please check the websites for the most up-to-date information about the location and intensity of current fires.]
Here is a time-lapse video of the sunset from Seattle.
