SEATTLE (AP) — Most of the Puget Sound region in Washington state was experiencing degraded air quality Saturday because of smoke from wildfires. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency said on Twitter that the region had air quality ratings ranging from unhealthy to unhealthy for sensitive groups. Air quality was worse in the Cascades and along Highway 2, State Route 530 and in the Darrington area. The conditions also prompted red flag warnings for increased fire danger and were expected to continue through Sunday. In Oregon, an air quality advisory was in effect for much of the western part of the state. Most locations, including Portland, were seeing moderate air, with worse conditions near Eugene.
