SEATTLE, Wash. – Western Washington faces several more days of hot weather as a prolonged heat advisory remains in place for much of the region, bringing health risks through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, high temperatures will range from the mid-80s to low 90s Monday and Tuesday, with overnight lows staying in the 60s. The heat advisory covers the lowlands of Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, Lewis, Kitsap and Grays Harbor counties, along with the Hood Canal area and foothills of the Olympics. The Lake Crescent corridor on U.S. 101 is also under advisory through early Wednesday, while the Strait of Juan de Fuca zone—including Sequim and Clallam Bay—expires by early Tuesday.
Cities including Everett, Olympia, Bellingham, and Mount Vernon are expected to see multiple days of hot, dry conditions. Officials warn the extended stretch of warm nights increases the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, particularly for older adults, children, and people without access to cooling.
Residents are urged to limit outdoor work to early morning or evening hours, drink water frequently, and never leave children or pets in vehicles. Cooling centers and sheltering information can be accessed by calling 211 or visiting wa211.org.
The heat advisory remains in effect until 5 a.m. Wednesday for most areas, with additional alerts possible if the pattern lingers.
