Should You Check Air Quality Before Heading to an Outdoor Event This Weekend?
It's worth checking current air quality before attending any outdoor event in the Spokane area this weekend, given the wildfire activity the region has experienced this month. A few of this weekend's events, including the Under the Trees Concert Series and Live Music at Big Barn Brewing on Friday, and Run the Night Glow 5K on Saturday, take place outdoors. Conditions have shifted throughout August depending on wind and regional fire activity, so checking spokanecleanair.org or AirNow.gov shortly before heading out is a simple way to plan accordingly, especially if you or someone attending with you is more sensitive to smoke.
