Portland Choked by Wildfire Smoke | Portland News
Description
Portland’s choking under wildfire smoke—ranked third worst air quality in the U.S.—with over two million acres burned across the Pacific Northwest. The Grasshopper Fire, sparked near Mt. Hood, is the main culprit, sending toxic haze that’s disrupting concerts, camps, and emergency rooms. Young adults are unexpectedly hit hardest, and while the alert lifts Thursday morning, smoke won’t clear until nightfall—thanks to stubborn easterly winds pushing pollution west. Everyone’s holding their breath, waiting for a breeze change.
