Hazardous white smoke cloud North Delridge

What was reported
Dense white smoke cloud drifts up the steep slope overlooking West Seattle bridge and from the below port/Terminal 5 industrial area roadway and trains area. Noxious to eyes, breathing, and persists for 20 minutes over the area. Forced to go inside until the cloud dissipates. Smell persists for a couple of hours.
Dates of incident: July 13, ~4:00 pm, July 10, ~afternoon.
Occurs occasionally perhaps 1 per week observed but not confirmed the exact frequency.
A previous heavy occurrence a few months ago, was thick enough smoke to prompt my neighbor to check to see if our house was on fire.
No exact point source is identified, but within a few hundred yards downhill of our residence are many road, shipping, transportation and other suspects.
One neighbor saw a fire on the bike path below our house and suspects wire strippers burning the insulation.
Smoke is noxious and not just unpleasant.
Thanks.
