Seattle, Washington – Western Washington drivers will face slick roads and steady rain through Sunday as a series of Pacific systems keeps Seattle wet and gray. The dreary stretch could dampen weekend plans across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties, where fall activities and pumpkin patches may see lighter turnout amid soggy fields and puddle-covered paths.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, showers will persist through late Sunday with brief breaks Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will hover in the upper 50s, with mild south winds around 7 mph. Motorists should watch for reduced visibility on I-5 and I-90, especially during heavier bursts of rain. Commuters heading out early Sunday should allow extra time and check for standing water on low-lying roads.
By Columbus Day, sunshine makes a welcome return. Highs near 60°F will brighten leaf-peeping spots like Discovery Park and Green Lake, offering ideal fall conditions for outdoor events. Cooler nights will follow, dipping into the mid-40s under mostly clear skies Monday night.
This early October stretch marks a typical fall pattern for the region — brief wet spells followed by a crisp, sunny rebound. Residents should keep umbrellas handy through Sunday, then prepare for a string of dry, mild days.
