Overview of Seattle Vacation Rentals

Best Time of Year to Visit Seattle Vacation Rentals

Seattle is known for its high amount of rainfall. In fact, statistically it rains at least half of the time. The heaviest rains occur during the months of October and December, and between January and May. The summer months of June through August are the driest and also have the warmest daytime temperatures. For obvious reasons, this is the most popular time of year for people to visit Seattle. Even though the city experiences a lot of rainfall, the climate is relatively mild compared to other North American cities on the same latitude. Although the winter months are cold, snow occurs only occasionally and usually does not last for more than a day or two. For visitors, it is advisable to always have a rain jacket with you as the weather is very changeable.
