If you can’t make it in the fall, then when is the second best time of year to visit Seattle? My cousin is living out there until April of next year. I haven’t had the time or money to plan a trip until after the holidays. I really would like to visit her before she leaves, but I want to make the most of this trip. I was wondering when the best time would go between January and mid-April, if there is much of a difference.
It’s wet in April, but even wetter in January. There is a chance of having a nice spring day in April. The best you can hope for in January is cold and clear. Go in April. References :
Why not come in December? There is tons of stuff going on – Christmas Ships etc…
I guess I would suggest April because you might be able to see some sun and some flowers but the rest of the months from Jan – Mar is fairly wet and dismal and Ipersonally think Seattle gets ugly. References :
Fall is actually the WORST time to come here – it’s very cold and rainy!
Spring or summer would be best. Jan – Mar will still be quite chilly though it will most likely be dry. Winters here are quite pretty plus you can drive just about an hour East and see tons of snow. If you’d prefer it to be a bit warmer then wait till the beginning of April and come out just before she leaves. References :
March is your best bet. Depending on the year, you can get some nice early spring weather, or even snow. We get less rainfall per year than a lot of places, but between fall and spring, you have high odds of catching some rain, but in march the colors are changing again. References :
