Get ready to “fall back” this weekend. We'll gain an hour of sleep when the clocks are turned back. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. For most of us, the extra hour comes and goes because we are in bed at 2 a.m., sleeping, and other than noticing more sunlight in the morning and perhaps feeling a little more refreshed, we hardly even notice it. Smart clocks, now, know when to change on their own but some have to do it manually with their traditional clocks Saturday evening before bed.  Now let's talk more about Daylight Saving Time and how it affects everyone in Northern America. What Is Daylight Saving Time? Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of moving the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months and changing them back again in the fall.

The regional air quality forecast for Thursday, Oct. 20, is unhealthy conditions for all residents, especially for sensitive groups. Multiple wildfires in the Cascades caused unhealthy to very unhealthy air quality in King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties on Wednesday. The unhealthy air quality can cause health symptoms like itchy eyes, sore throat, and headache to more serious symptoms for at-risk groups.  Doctors are worried about long-term health impacts on those that can’t come inside. Prolonged outdoor activity is not advisable. “We're worried about people who are maybe occupationally exposed to higher levels of smoke like a firefighter who's outdoors fighting wildfire smoke for 12 hours a day for the whole season,” said Dr. Cora Sack, a pulmonologist at the UW Medicine in the Department of Medicine and Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. Dr. Sack said older adults, pregnant women, and younger children are also at a higher risk.  “People s...
