What is the weather like in Seattle?

Seattle weather is gray and rainy for the majority of the year. This temperate climate contributes to lush green spaces and landscapes in and around the city. It tends to be sunny and incredibly beautiful during summer, especially from July through September. For many residents, this makes living in Seattle for the rest of the year worth it! Unfortunately, wildfire smoke has been a significant issue in recent years during the summer months. It rarely snows in Seattle, but when it does, the city tends to shut down due to a lack of infrastructure to handle snow and ice across the hilly geography.
