this has happened to me for like 5 of the last 6 years in western washington. last year i had ash raining down on my house from a nearby wildfire. in 2020 the smoke was so thick that i couldn’t see out of my apartment windows. i checked on google maps and according to that, the furthest trees that you can see in this pic are about 650 feet away.

(no idea why the pic is on its side)

it managed to get worse, but i don’t have any photos of it.
