Dec. 20--The Washington State Department of Ecology lifted a statewide air quality advisory Monday because a change in weather improved air circulation.
Ecology issued the advisory Dec. 9 because stagnant air was trapping smoke particles and pollution in low-lying areas.
Air quality remained good to moderate in Bellingham throughout the advisory.
