Fine Particle Sensor Map
Thinking about working or playing outdoors today? Check the Sensor Map! It's designed to help you plan your day by offering current air quality and general forecast information.
The color of the circles (Purple Air sensors) and stars (Agency monitors) indicates the latest air quality level for that location. The color of the larger shaded regions is based on today's expected air quality forecast.
On large screens, after clicking on a site, a graph shows the air quality over the last 3 days. A horizontal bar representing each day is shaded based on the 24-hour average air quality level. The dot marked as an "x" on the right of the graph shows the most recent pollution level. Click on the Impact tab to see a physical activity guide that suggests appropriate actions you can take based on the current air quality level at that location.
On small devices, tapping a site will display the current air quality at that location.
Click on the Instant tab at the top right to see the latest Purple Air sensor values. The Instant view can be very useful when conditions are changing rapidly, such as during a wildfire smoke event.
Purple Air sensor data are quality controlled and calibrated to improve accuracy. Learn more at our Air Quality Sensor Map page.

Proposed Order of Approval for Public Comment - Everett Ship Repair
PUBLIC NOTICE
PUGET SOUND CLEAN AIR AGENCY
Proposed Order of Approval No. 12598
Everett Ship Repair
2730 Federal Ave, Everett, WA 98201
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is providing public notice for a proposed permit for Everett Ship Repair to add an additional dry dock to already approved operations. Operations at the facility include abrasive blasting, spray, brush, and roller coating, welding, grinding, pressure washing, hydroblasting, heavy lift barge vessel hauling and launching (dry dock). Emissions from dry abrasive blasting operations on the dry dock will be controlled by dust collectors. Emissions from spray coating operations conducted on each dry dock will be controlled by a dry air filter system.
The addition of this dry dock is not expected to increase the allowed throughput of the facility. The expected emission from the entire facility is about 83 tons per year of volatile organic compounds and about 8 tons per year of hazardous air pollutants. Toxic air pollutants were also reviewed, and the entire shipyard will not exceed any of the acceptable source impact levels (ASIL) defined per WAC 173-460-150.
PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION
The Agency has completed a review of application No. 12598. Based on this review, the Agency has made a preliminary determination that the proposal meets all the requirements of Regulations I, II, and III, and draft Order No. 12598 should be approved, subject to the conditions in the draft Order.
The overall environmental impacts of the project were evaluated pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) by the Port of Everett. The Port of Everett issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) on August 22, 2025.
PUBLIC COMMENT
The proposed Order of Approval and Determination of Nonsignificance (along with the information considered in making this preliminary determination) are available below:
These documents are also on file and available for inspection at the Agency’s office located at 1904 Third Avenue, Suite 105, Seattle, Washington, telephone (206) 343-8800.

Any person or entity may request a public hearing within the comment period provided that any such request shall state the person’s or entity’s interest in filing it and why a hearing is warranted.
All comments received during the comment period will become part of the public record. Once the Agency has reviewed and responded to comments from the public, the proposed Order of Approval will, if necessary, be revised and either denied or issued in final form.
