Strange Odor in Ballard

This was sent to us from a reader:
Were you outside yesterday morning? I live in the Whittier neighborhood, around 13th and 75th NW. Smelled it everywhere.
A year ago I smelled it (kind of a mix between a paper mill and garbage). A friend who used to work in the City Council told me it was the Discovery Park plant’s air cleaning scrubbers off line (which would be quite a distance for the odor to travel), and that they occasionally go off line and this is the smell. I also smelled it the day before, but yesterday was wicked bad. I could almost taste it.
