Recreational burning

There was so much stress and angst with the neighbour with the chimney near our bedroom window…

Take a walk on a clear winter day in Shoreline, Washington and you most likely end up coughing and wheezing.

…we have endured years of wood smoke causing long term serious health conditions.

…both our back and front gardens are filled with thick, acrid smoke that makes your eyes sting and your throat sore.

I left the area, only to be faced with woodsmoke issues from wood stoves and fire pits in the new area.

I have next door neighbors who have a fire pit in which they burn brush and yard debris 4 to 5 days a week for 6–12 hours a day…

So we pay the price for ignorance, poor ordinance, years of fighting for our property rights, the stress, the duress, the financial burdens, and now the physical death of my husband…

I have a heart condition and have to run two big air purifiers 24/7 and sometimes the smoke is so bad I can’t go out in my yard.

…My neighbors insist upon having fires constantly. My home completely fills with smoke…
