Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Seattle
Summer
Summer
Winter
March–May. Temperatures typically range from the mid-40s to mid-60s °F (5–18 °C). Early spring can still be rainy and cool; by late April–May you’ll see blossoms, longer daylight, and improving weather. Festivals and conventions begin to pick up.
Seattle’s signature summer festival featuring hydroplane races, parades, and neighborhood festivities.
One of the largest consumer gaming conventions in North America, held annually at the Washington State Convention Center and nearby venues.
Seattle’s long-running music and arts festival, held over Labor Day weekend at Seattle Center.
One of the largest film festivals in the U.S., showcasing international and independent films in late spring.
Major pop-culture and comic convention held in early spring.
Annual Pride parade and festival in June celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, centered in Capitol Hill and the Seattle Center.
A major winter boating and marine tradeshow drawing enthusiasts and buyers to the city.
Though outside Seattle (about 1–1.5 hours north), this iconic spring flower festival affects Seattle visitor traffic and accommodations.
Layering is essential year-round due to Seattle’s variable microclimates. Even on sunny summer days, mornings/evenings can be cool. A compact waterproof jacket or shell and comfortable, waterproof walking shoes are highly recommended. Check marine forecasts if you plan on ferry rides or whale-watching, and bring sunglasses for bright reflective days, especially in late summer and on the water.
Seattle hotel prices fluctuate with seasonality and major events. Peak rates occur in Summer (late June–September) when weather is best and tourists flock to the city. Large conventions (PAX West in September), tech events, and major sports events (Seahawks and Mariners home games) push prices up, especially in downtown/Belltown and near the Washington State Convention Center. Neighborhood boutiques in Capitol Hill, Fremont, and Ballard can offer a lower-cost alternative but may sell out during events. Winter (December–February) is generally the value season with lower nightly rates and more deals — except around holidays and the winter Seattle Boat Show. Weekend nights are typically pricier than weekdays; book early for August–September events and major holidays. Rates also spike near last-minute popular concerts and festivals.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Seattle’s public transit network (Sound Transit Link light rail, King County Metro buses, Seattle Streetcar, and ferries) is the easiest way to move around without a car. The city is also very walkable in downtown neighborhoods and waterfront areas.
Book lodging and any event-based tickets early when traveling May–September or during major conventions (PAX West, festivals). Pick a central neighborhood with easy access to the Link light rail or major bus routes to minimize transit time. Carry a small umbrella or waterproof shell year-round and download a transit app (King County Metro or OneBusAway) for real-time service updates.
