Oregon coast
Flights have been booked to fly into Portland on Sept 12, planing to spend five nights in Seaside to explore the coast and two nights in Portland. We are very concerned about the wildfires and what affect they might have on the coast. Need to decide within a couple days whether to cancel our vacation. Thanks for any and all comments / suggestions . Apparently Columbia River Gorge is not something we can plan to do.

The tricky thing is that one day (like today) air quality could be awful. Next day, wind direction changes and it's fine. I'm not sure anyone can predict a week out. But generally, the warnings I've seen are through Friday, and currently seaside air quality is "unhealthy for sensitive groups". It's supposed to get better later in the week but I think even then you'll be limited to north and central coast at best.
What's the latest you can cancel? I'm assuming you're basing this on accommodations cancellation policy?

The forecast for the whole Northwest is for the winds to change tonight to onshore as opposed to offshore, so the smoke ought to clear out to the east. By next week the coast, Willamette Valley, and Puget Sound regions ought to be back to normal; in fact the 10-day forecast is very nice - temperatures 10 degrees cooler of more, winds from the west (i.e. off the Pacific).
