Weather in Seattle in February

February in Seattle is a coat month. Treat it as cities, food and short walks, not as a terrace holiday.

In United States, this is how Seattle actually wears February, not how a country centroid would. Compared with August and December, February sits in the middle of Seattle's year.

What to expect

Daytime

You want a proper coat in Seattle in February, not a festival jacket. Wind makes the same afternoon feel sharper than the map suggests.

Outdoor time is the middle of the day. Finish plans before the light goes. Evenings are for indoors.

Rain

Mixed skies in Seattle in February. Dry days and wet days share the month. Outdoor plans need a backup, not a cancellation policy.

Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
