High level haze in the skies over Western Washington on Sunday was most likely a result of wildfires burning to the south - but on Monday forecasters expect the smoke to be potentially be more intense in Western Washington and the Puget Sound region. On Sunday those dreaded hazy skies were bringing disappointment and worry to companies like Sailing Seattle who do business outdoors. “It was a beautiful night but we have the first night of wildfire smoke,” said Joey LaMarche, co-owner of Sailing Seattle. Last year the company lost six days of profits because of thick wildfire smoke that socked in Seattle for days. “When we saw the smoke tonight and the sun was just a big red blob in the sky I'm thinking, is this the next month of the summer?” said LaMarche.
