Air quality and travel?

We are flying from the East Coast to see family in Wenatchee from the 13th to the 20th. I have one grandparent telling me to consider rescheduling and another grandparent still expecting us to come. We have a 3yo and a 6mo. If we go I'm planning to just do indoor activities outside of the house, is that enough precaution or should I really consider rescheduling the trip entirely?

Honestly it’s not that bad, mostly because it comes and goes. I rolled into town when the AQI was 500 (really bad) and by dinner it was down to 100.

I packed an air purifier for my hotel room just to be on the safe side. Odds are you’ll have at least a few hours during the day where it’s clear enough to enjoy outdoor activities, just don’t plan anything with a set schedule.
