The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) has issued a burn ban for King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties.
For Seattle Parks and Recreation, this means that beach fires at Alki Beach Park, 1702 Alki Ave. SW, and Golden Gardens Park, 8498 Seaview Ave. NW, are prohibited until the PSCAA lifts the ban. Bonfires lit for on-shore Christmas Ship events will also be affected.
The ban, due to stagnant weather conditions and rising air pollution, was issued on Nov. 30 and will be in effect until further notice. The purpose of a burn ban is to reduce the amount of pollution that is creating unhealthy air.
Violation of the ban can result in a $1,000 fine from the PSCAA.
