it virtually never snows in seattle. however you get rain and fog regularly-not an excessive amount, but really frequently.
-
My wife and I are moving there soon and I will be so glad to get away from the snow here in SLC!! I'll take rain and fog any day!!

It doesn't snow very much at all in Seattle...you may get a week or two...but thats about it.
-
Not a lot. It drizzles light rain most of the time, if anything comes out of the sky.
-
we get weeks worth of snow, roads close, people starve because food can't be delivered, kid are stupid from not enough schooling. Oh, wait, I am making this all up.
-
No. And when it does it's always wet snow. Winter sucks here. A lot of hail. But come anyway lol.

I live in the middle of Seattle and we got 1 snow day this winter. It snowed about 3 inches and it was all gone by the next morning. Our growing season runs from March 1st to November 15th. We don have a lot of gray days compared to other areas but our rain fall is fairly low--about 40 inches a year compared to 70 inches for New York. One thing about snow in Seattle is that we are a very hilly city, much like San Francisco so when it does snow even an inch, schools close and people stay home if at all possible.

We have the best weather if you don't mind a fair amount of rain. It actually doesn't rain nearly as much as people would think and there are plenty of clear, bright days. And, no, it actually snows very rarely.

We haven't had a snow fall that pretty much shut everything down in about five years. We do have a couple of snowfalls each year, comes in overnight or early morning and has melted before the sun goes down. In Seattle, if you want snow you can always drive to the mountains about an hour away.

I always find it interesting when people say it "never" snows in Seattle. I lived there for 10 years in the 80's. We had snow every winter. We had quite a bit, in fact. As with all things, weather comes in cycles. Right now, there is a cycle of not having massive amounts of snow. However, don't count it out. It will never be as bad as it is in some places and is a wet snow.

It snowed like crazy here the past week. I still have a foot of snow outside my house. But that is very unusual to get so much. We do get snow every winter though.

If you are just wanting to move to Washington, the Tri-Cities (Richland, pasco, kennewick) Gets almost NO snow! Its very warm there, and when it does snow, if you get a wind storm, the snow is gone. I lives there for 23 years. If you pick somewhere to live, I would choos Richland. :) And don't move to Spokane! We got almost 60 inches in December! It's CRAZY over here!

According to http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?wasequ , Sequim only gets about 5" of snow and about 17" of total precipitation per year.

the snow here isn't so much the problem as black ice and people who do not drive the weather conditions. it snows here, some years get more snow that others 2008/2009 winter was the worst I have seen. Seattle hills make for some treacherous driving, even for public transportation. Look at the news regarding the buses that slid down the hill and hung over I-5. Some years have seen one snow fall that was gone by morning. All in all, it's a great place to live and work.

No, but when Seattle gets a lite dusting of snow, the city become paralized! It also is a great place if you like rainy weather. It rains 200+ days out of the year. Keeps all the plants green but might make you blue.
-
Like others wrote - It snows maybe a week out the year, But other than that just a lil mixed snow.... WA is the best state Ive ever lived in though - You got Trees, Mountains,Ocean & Rivers And Eastern WA gives you that Desert Cant beat that....
-
You get very little snow, but it never lasts long!
-
