Wildfire Smoke Temporarily Closes West Coast Restaurants

The West Coast wildfire season is far from over, and already, it's one for the record books.In West Coast cities, air quality issues are even forcing many restaurants to close their doors.In Seattle, Eater listed about two dozen restaurants which were closing temporarily.And another twenty-plus closed down outdoor dining after the city's air quality was rated "very unhealthy.".In Portland, the city's vibrant food cart scene is also vulnerable right now.Needless to say, after the year we've had, even having to consider shutting the doors again can feel devastating.Each day, each minute we are closed is catastrophic to our already severely damaged business, Gillian Shaw Lundgren,Black Jet Baking Co
