Smokey Air Cancels Fun on The Water at Franklin Pool Smokey conditions make the air quality poor in the Yakima area so the city is temporarily closing the cities' Franklin Pool. The pool at Franklin Park on Tieton Drive is closed Monday and possibly Tuesday because of unhealthy air quality caused by smoke from wildfires in the region. It happens every year in the state. In fact on Sunday air quality alerts were issued in many areas throughout the west because of wildfires burning in Washington State and in Oregon. The unhealthy air alerts were issued for parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Washington state and Idaho.
