The Best and Worst Times to Visit Seattle, According to Locals

""The rain is back, and the city becomes lush and green again. If you head up into the foothills, you can still catch the last of the salmon spawning in the streams and rivers of the Cascades.""

""The gray skies offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy a warm beverage, explore a museum, take in a show, or enjoy a wine tasting by the fire.""

""We locals thrive in the rainier months, in part because we know how to dress for it. As the saying goes, 'There's no bad weather, only bad clothes.'""

Seattle is an outdoor paradise with activities for every season. Spring features cherry blossoms, while fall showcases vibrant foliage. Mid-autumn is particularly favored for its lush greenery and salmon spawning in the Cascades. Tourist seasons are categorized into high (June to August), shoulder (September to October and March to May), and low (November to February). Winter, though cold and occasionally snowy, offers fewer crowds and opportunities for indoor activities, making it ideal for enjoying museums, shows, and local beverages.
