Seattle weather facts every pet owner should know
- Seattle is built for dog walking: even the warmest month, August, averages highs of just 77.6F, barely brushing the 77F caution line, so most summer days are walk-all-day weather.
- Winter lows average 37.7F in January, above the truly risky range, but the constant drizzle means a quick-dry towel by the door does more for Seattle dogs than a heavy parka.
- Snow is rare at about 6.3 inches a year, so when it does fall the city (and its dogs) get a surprise; keep first-snow walks short since local paws rarely see ice.
- The June 2021 heat dome pushed Seattle to an all-time record 108F, proof that even mild-climate pets need a heat plan: fans, shade, and cool floors matter here precisely because so few homes have air conditioning.
