Has anyone moved to get away from the inversion/air in SLC?

You could consider Utah county, then. As I mentioned the air seems MUCH better here than in SL county.

Colter, with all due respect...
Moving to Utah County and voluntarily subjecting myself to "the bubble" will never happen. :cool:
 
I don't think Provo's air is any better than SLC's. My guess is it's actually worse. Today for instance, Provo's AQI is 153 and SLC's is 104.

Edit: Here's SLC region's 2013 AQI maps:

The Red tends to be over Provo on bad days, with SLC being a notch down from that on the color scale usually.

What about Tooele? That seems to go moderate at worst.

I just got back from my Utah trip. My family was sick the whole time. That air is HORRIBLE. If I ever move back to Utah I will try for St. George or Heber.

Depends on the monitoring station and pollutant (PM2.5 and Ozone are the problems). Lindon and Cottonwood are consistently high and similar in 24-hour average PM2.5. Provo, Bountiful, Highland, & Rose Park have better air. Provo and Spanish Fork have been consistently lower than Cottonwood for ozone.

This is like debating which teams is worse... Cleveland or Sacramento?

Been to both counties. The difference is minimal. Horrible air is just horrible air.

I know you have said that Provo has better air than Salt Lake, but Provo has had the worst air quality in the country this year on at least one occasion that I can remember. To say that it is better than Salt Lake in Air Quality is like saying the water on the top of the toilet is clean because your dookie already sunk to the bottom...

Not only that, but unless you love BYU culture, and Roscoe the EQP, then Provo is just not a very fun place to live. I have lived in Provo and Salt Lake, and the only reason I would choose to live in Provo again, unless I got a stellar job there, and a house that was free.
 
Tooele seemed to be worse than salt lake today.
In fact tooele today was worse than I have ever seen it in salt lake
