Smoke from the Pacific Northwest wildfires lingers over Philly and much of the nation Anthony R. Wood, The Philadelphia Inquirer © TOM GRALISH / Staff Photographer The sun sets behind the Benjamin Franklin Bridge on Tuesday, filtered through the haze of smoke drifting into our region from the wildfires in the Pacific Northwest.
