Fox News
The air quality in the Pacific Northwest has deteriorated due to wildfires in the area. Seattle has been advised to close windows and limit outdoor time.
The Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area was seeing polluted air in the unhealthy to unhealthy for sensitive groups range, according to Washington and Oregon monitoring sites. The cities of Eugene and Springfield, Oregon, were experiencing similarly polluted air.
The smoke-laden air gave the Pacific Northwest the designation of worst air quality in the U.S. on Tuesday, KGW Meteorologist Joe Raineri said.
