2020 has truly been a year of challenges for all of us.

Right now, Seattle is facing a new challenge: one of the worst air qualities
in the world. After seeing some unhealthy levels of wildfire smoke for a
short time period earlier this week, our region is experiencing hazardous
levels of produced by the wildfires in Oregon and California, which are
expected to last for the next several days.

This forecast impacts all of us, and it will undoubtedly exacerbate existing
harms caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent days, the County Executive,
Public Health - Seattle & King County Director Patty Hayes, Health Officer
Dr. Jeff Duchin and I have all been in discussions regarding how to prepare
for unhealthy air quality in the midst of a pandemic.

We know that indoor gathering - even with the proper precautions - increases
a person's likelihood of catching or spreading the virus. However, the
threat of unhealthy air quality has become so great that we are taking
additional actions as a City, including closing our parks and standing up an
additional emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness.

Traditionally, the region's smoke and unhealthy air quality response has
relied on people minimizing time outdoors and informing people of available
facilities that have air filtration. Public Health - Seattle & King County
advises that facilities should meet air filtration guidance and guidance
from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention to reduce risk of COVID-19
transmission including social distancing and other health and hygiene
measures.

King County Executive Dow Constantine and I announced the opening of a new
healthy air center in SoDo for people experiencing homelessness during the
wildfire smoke this weekend. The SoDo site will open this afternoon and will
provide approximately 80 people with healthy air and shelter.  Beginning
today and through the weekend, the City's parks, boat ramps, beaches,
playfields, and library curbside pickup locations will be closed.

Public Health - Seattle & King County advises all those who are able to stay
inside for the duration of the unhealthy air quality. All those who have
asthma or other respiratory conditions should take care to have their
inhaler and other relevant medications. If a person with existing health
conditions experiences a worsening of their condition due to the unhealthy
air, they should contact their health care provider immediately.

It's important to note that cloth face coverings - while critical to
preventing the spread of COVID-19 - do NOT prevent respiratory harms that
could be caused by unhealthy air quality. N95 and N100 masks offer slightly
better protection against unhealthy air quality, however, those should
continue to be reserved for health care workers and first responders
addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.

I encourage you to regularly check Puget Sound Clean Air Agency for updates
on air quality. For information about COVID-19, including in multiple
languages, visit

Mayor Durkan Announces up to $11.6 Million in Funding for Homeless Service
Providers for COVID-19 Response


On Wednesday, Mayor Durkan today announced up to $11.6 million in funding
for shelter, day-centers, and permanent supportive housing to assist our
City's service providers during COVID-19. To date, these efforts have
resulted in new enhanced shelter capacity, the opening of temporary spaces
to de-intensify large congregate shelters, the ongoing operation of
day-centers, and support to emergency shelters and permanent supportive
housing to meet public health requirements. These program modifications have
minimized shelter space loss during the pandemic.

the Homeless Council, "Seattle has had one of the most progressive responses
to COVID-19 for people living homeless" by making more room in shelters,
deploying additional hand-washing stations, and some mobile showers. These
efforts have helped homeless service programs to operate safely and without
the large-scale spread of COVID-19 like many outbreaks seen in other cities.
Throughout the City of Seattle homelessness response network, the City's
efforts have resulted in a positivity rate that is consistent with the rate
of positive tests across the general population.

Priorities to Study As We Build Back Better 


Seattle's Office of Planning and Community Development (OPCD) recently
outlined priorities to study during the next iteration of the City's
foundational city plan, the

2035 Comprehensive Plan.

In testimony before the City Council this week, OPCD outlined Mayor Jenny A.
Durkan's vision for planning a reimagined and more equitable City which
addresses the systemic issues brought to light during the COVID-19 pandemic,
economic collapse and civil rights reckoning. Mayor Durkan proposed new
station-area planning around the future 130th St. Sound Transit light rail
station, strengthening the City's industrial maritime jobs, committing to a
racially equitable recovery from the global pandemic, and exploring the
concept of "15-minute neighborhoods" which could include additional
affordable housing near Parks facilities.

and Neighborhoods committee,

Pier 58 Removal Further Accelerated 


The City's Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects will begin removal of
Pier 58 this weekend. Engineers have observed increasing movement and
deterioration of the pier structure and continue to monitor the pier
closely. Due to the accelerated deterioration of the pier, the contractor is
advancing critical work over the weekend, using appropriate protocols given
the current smoke emergency.  

Removal of the pier is largely done waterside from a barge that arrived on
September 4. The City will remove as much of the pier deck, piles and
structures as necessary to ensure site safety. We will continue construction
seven days a week, during daylight hours, until further notice. Pier 58
removal is expected to be completed by early 2021.

Pedestrian access to all businesses will be maintained throughout pier
removal. Pier 58 is located between the Seattle Aquarium and Pier 57
(Miner's Landing).

The City has planned for years to remove the existing Pier 58 and replace it
with a new public park pier including a playground, public plaza and
landscaping. To learn more about construction and pier park design, visit
waterfrontseattle.org.

Weekend Read: Tips on Staying Safe From the WA Department of Health


 
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WASEATTLE/2020/09/
3682336/smoke_original.jpg> 

As wildfires rage across the entire west coast, a giant wave of smoke has
blown across Western Washington, creating worsening air quality that will
likely linger for days. The air quality across Washington has the potential
to reach extremely unhealthy levels, and the Washington State Department of
Health wants people to be prepared. It's not just the smoke, either: with
COVID-19 as an ongoing factor, people need to know how to stay safe from
smoke and fire while preventing the spread of disease.

Breathing in wildfire smoke can cause symptoms that are relatively minor,
such as eye, nose, and throat irritation, and also more dangerous symptoms
like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. The best way to protect
yourself from smoky air is to stay inside and keep your indoor air clean by
improving filtration  and creating a clean air room in your home. To reduce
the intake of smoke into your home:

*	Close windows and doors when it's smoky outside, and open windows to
let in fresh air during times when there's better air quality outside.
*	Set air conditioners to re-circulate.
*	Avoid burning candles/incense, smoking, broiling/frying foods, and
vacuuming, as these can add to indoor pollution.
*	Use a portable air cleaner with a HEPA filter - Air Cleaner
Information for Consumers - California Air Resources Board.
*	Build your own box fan filter - WA Department of Ecology's video on
how to make your own clean air fan.

This wildfire season is especially challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you're considering leaving the area to escape smoke or fire, consider the
COVID-19 restrictions in the county you are traveling to, and the people you
are visiting. This is especially important if they are at high risk for
severe COVID-19. For those taking in people trying to escape fire or smoky
conditions: please keep your circles small, wear masks indoors, and continue
washing your hands often.

Please stay tuned to the local media in your area to learn updates about
smoke and fire activity near you. To read more about the wildfires in our
state, please check out the Washington Smoke Information blog for regular
updates. For more information on protecting yourself and your loved ones
during wildfire smoke events, visit our Smoke From Fires home page.
