One look at the soupy haze blanketing the city and it was clear why. “We’re definitely trying to stay out of the smoke,” Charlie Booher said as his kids picked books from the stacks. Smoke from the wildfires burning through bone-dry forests and grasslands in the West has damaged air quality this week from California to the Eastern Seaboard. The polluting smoke has been thickest in the Northwest, including Montana, where over the past week Missoula, Helena, Great Falls and other cities ranked among the 10 places with the worst air quality, according to AirNow.

But that’s not the case in the Flathead Valley where 38 percent of residents are fully vaccinated “We’ve seen a pretty significant uptick in cases,” says Health Officer Joe Russell. Over the past couple of weeks, daily case numbers have spiked about 50 percent, Russell says. Flathead County has the most active COVID cases in the state, with about 180 cases.
