Mystery dust baffles residents

Ash-like dust baffles residents

REDMOND, Wash. - Residents around Puget Sound were baffled Sunday when a thin layer of ash-like powder suddenly appeared, coating their cars and homes.

Redmond is just one of the places where people spotted the mystery dust. Residents near Carnation, Gig Harbor and Kingston also reported seeing it.

Dave and Edith Creed of Maple Valley were mystified when they discovered the thin layer of dust coating their truck, SUV and camper. On some surfaces, the dust seems to turn orange and, mixed with some moisture, it formed circles, they said.

"We've never seen anything like this," said David Creed.
