Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Seattle
Summer
Summer
Winter
March–May. Rain eases compared with winter, cherry blossoms and magnolias bloom, and early-season festivals (Folklife, SIFF in late spring) start up. Temperatures are cool to mild and changeable.
A citywide summer festival culminating in hydroplane races, parades and air shows (notably the Blue Angels) in July.
Seattle’s large music and arts festival held over Labor Day weekend, featuring big-name acts, local artists and interactive exhibits.
A major gaming convention drawing large crowds to downtown Seattle (typically late summer/early fall).
Large pop-culture and comics convention in March that attracts fans and creators worldwide.
One of the largest film festivals in North America, showcasing films from around the world in late spring (May–June).
Seasonal holiday events, tree lightings, and markets across December, including local craft markets and downtown displays.
Seattle’s climate is maritime: expect mild temperatures year-round, frequent clouds and significant drizzle outside of summer. Layering is essential — include a waterproof outer layer, warm mid-layer and shoes that handle wet sidewalks. Check air-quality advisories in late summer (wildfire smoke) and be ready to alter outdoor plans if needed.
Seattle hotel prices rise sharply in Summer (June–August) — this is high season thanks to reliably dry weather and many festivals. Prices also spike around major events (Seafair in July, PAX West in September, Emerald City Comic Con in March) and Seahawks home game weekends in Fall. Downtown, Belltown and South Lake Union are consistently the most expensive neighborhoods; Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, the University District and parts of West Seattle often offer better value. Winters (January–February) are generally the cheapest time for hotel rates except for holiday weeks in late December. Booking 30–90 days in advance for summer travel and 3–6 months ahead for major-event weekends will usually get the best rates.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Use a mix of public transit (Link light rail, buses, streetcar), ferries and walking in the city; rent a car for mountain or island day trips.
Purchase orca cards for transit, consider a Seattle CityPASS if visiting multiple paid attractions, ferry to Bainbridge for a quick scenic escape, and always book summer travel and event weekends well in advance. Pack a light waterproof jacket and quick-drying layers — you’ll use them more than you expect.
