| County | Area | Nonattainment in year | Redesignation to attainment | Classification | Part or whole county | Population (2000) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clark | Vancouver | 95 96 | 10/21/96 | Moderate <= 12.7ppm | Part | 324,869 |
| King | Seattle-Tacoma | 95 96 | 10/11/96 | Moderate > 12.7ppm | Part | 1,523,379 |
| Pierce | Seattle-Tacoma | 95 96 | 10/11/96 | Moderate > 12.7ppm | Part | 614,619 |
| Snohomish | Seattle-Tacoma | 95 96 | 10/11/96 | Moderate > 12.7ppm | Part | 531,483 |

| Yakima | Yakima | 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 | NA | Not Classified | Part | 63,658 |
KEY: NA = not applicable; ppm = parts per million.
NOTES: Nonattainment areas do not meet the national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard for the specified pollutant. Nonattainment areas are classified based on design values: Serious = an area with a design value of 16.5 ppm and above; Moderate = an area with a design value of 9.1 up to 16.4 ppm.
