Air quality today
The air quality in Anacortes, Washington is classified as Good today. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, which represents fine particulate matter. The latest reported concentration for PM2.5 is 1.47 micrograms per cubic meter, based on a reference value of 1.4725. The value is presented to two decimal places, reflecting the precision of the monitoring instruments. Ten valid measurements were recorded for this assessment, providing the basis for the current category. The ten observations were collected over the reporting period, ensuring representation of the local atmosphere. No PM10 data are available at this time.
Data is shown via OpenAQ. The information reflects the conditions at the time of measurement and does not include forecasts. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.
Latest sensor values
PM categories follow US EPA AQI breakpoints, shown here as an estimate derived from the latest valid measurements (this project does not compute EPA NowCast/24-hour AQI yet).
What the data includes
The Anacortes air‑quality feed pulls data from two monitoring sites, providing twelve recent rows of observations. Ten of those rows were recorded within the last 30 days, while the remaining two are older, so the overall picture is fairly current but includes a small amount of legacy data. The most recent timestamps for most pollutants are from 2026‑02‑07 22:00 UTC, giving a snapshot of conditions that is only a few weeks old; the exception is PM10, whose latest entry dates to 2025‑01‑13 23:00 UTC, indicating that this metric is not refreshed as frequently.
The dataset includes six measured pollutants. PM1 values sit between about 1.07 and 1.12 µg/m³, with a median of 1.09 µg/m³, showing a very tight spread. PM2.5 ranges from roughly 1.47 to 1.94 µg/m³, median 1.71 µg/m³, also indicating limited variability across the sampled period. PM10, recorded at the second site, varies from 4.40 to 5.09 µg/m³ with a median of 4.74 µg/m³, but its older timestamp means the figure may not reflect the most recent conditions. Relative humidity is measured between 61.38 % and 66.79 %, median 64.08 %, while temperature hovers from 12.33 °C to 12.42 °C, median 12.38 °C, both suggesting a fairly stable micro‑climate during the sampling window. The particle count (UM003) shows a broader range, from 298.64 to 350.40 particles/cm³, median 324.52, highlighting more fluctuation in aerosol concentration than the mass‑based metrics.
Overall, the data give a concise view of Anacortes’ air quality, with most pollutants captured recently and displaying narrow, consistent ranges, while PM10’s older update and the wider spread in particle counts point to areas where additional or more frequent sampling could improve the completeness of the picture.
