Redmond's air quality in Washington State benefits from the Sammamish River valley position in the greater Seattle metropolitan area east of Lake Washington, with vehicle emissions from SR-520 and SR-202 and the surrounding Microsoft and technology campus contributing local sources. Summer wildfire smoke from Washington and Oregon forests is an increasingly severe seasonal concern, while the lake and valley provide some ventilation and the technology campus character maintains moderate emission levels.

Prevailing onshore winds usually keep pollution moving rather than letting it settle.

Are air quality levels in Redmond based on measurements or forecasts?

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
