Barely delivered rainfall? Maybe for you but places like OLM (above normal rainfall month locked in), SEA, and BLI got plenty.

Reeks like smoke but it smells like someone is burning nearby, not so much from wildfire.

August 2024?

Scenic!

Just in the southern half of the PNW, if any one of the Oregon Coast, Hood-Gorge, Central Oregon, Wallowas, Mt Shasta country, etc were put anywhere else in the world but the western US, they’d be massive tourist destinations. Here, they’re just another place.
