The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has invoked a burn ban for Snohomish County until further notice.

Blame the cloudless skies and chilly nights.

No burning is allowed in uncertified wood stoves or fireplaces. All outdoor burning is prohibited, even in areas where outdoor burning is not permanently banned.
