Air Quality Burn Bans
Periodically the State, Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, may call for bans on burning due
to air quality, when particulates in the air reach an unsafe level. When an air quality
ban is imposed, all burning permits are temporarily suspended. To check whether there is a
current burning ban due to air quality, please call 1 (800) 595-4341.
Temporary County Burn Bans
Other types of bans on burning may be called by the County for various reasons. For
example, drought conditions may lead local officials to impose burning
restrictions. Please
contact local burn ban lines at the following numbers for up to date information:
