The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency on Sunday morning canceled the smog watch put in place on Thursday for the Puget Sound region.

The wind has begun blowing in from the ocean and air quality is expected to remain within “good” levels the remainder of the week in Snohomish, King, Kitsap and Pierce counties.

Information on current and forecast air quality is available at www.pscleanair.org.

To help air quality, the agency recommends driving less and using non-gas-powered yard and recreation equipment.
