Smoke moves into Central Washington
The brown skies Spokane experienced Friday have moved on. Air quality monitors in the Spokane area rate the air “good” or “moderate.” But the air in Yakima, Ellensburg, Twisp, Winthrop, Pullman and Lewiston currently is rated “unhealthy” or “very unhealthy,” according to the state Department of Ecology. Wind pushed the smoke west and south overnight and this morning. The wind is dying down and air quality shouldn’t deteriorate much in Spokane this evening.

History lessons: Seattle Jews consider Spanish citizenship
Spain expelled its once-numerous Jews in 1492 during the Inquisition, sending the so-called Sephardic population into the Ottoman empire and beyond. Following a resurgence of interest in this part of its past, Spain passed a law in June that conveys citizenship rights on descendants of the diaspora. There are conditions. That – plus resentment toward a country that produced a defining and tragic moment in Sephardic history – is causing Seattle’s Sephardic population to view the offer with mixed emotions.

Trump’s audacious Southern spectacle is part of his strategy
It was the most audacious Donald Trump spectacle yet in a summer full of them, as the Republican presidential front-runner, in his Boeing 757, thundered over a football stadium here Friday night and gave a raucous speech to one of the largest crowds of the 2016 campaign. But Trump’s flashy performance was about more than showmanship. His visit to Alabama was coolly strategic, touching down in the heart of red America and an increasingly important early battleground in the Republican nominating contest.
