I could tell the tourist season is in full swing when in 3 minutes I spotted the Emerald City Trolley, the Duck and the monorail during my visit to downtown on Wednesday. Tourists that go up in the Space Needle report that there is a haziness in the air looking north, and even looking south to Mt Rainier. Much of the haziness is actually smoke from wildfires from way across the border in British Columbia, Canada!
