Average Seattle Weather
It doesn’t rain in Seattle as much as you may think. Seattle averages 36 inches of rainfall a year, less than Washington, D.C., New York City and Atlanta! Overall, Seattle has a fairly mild climate. During the summer months, visitors can expect comfortable temperatures ranging in the 70s. Though, this last summer was a little different when the city broke its all-time temperature high of 100 degrees - set in 1994- this last July at 102 degrees! In the winter, temperatures rarely drop below freezing, ranging from the low 40s-50s. Transportation
Seattle’s compact downtown makes it easy for travelers to get around by foot. Not in the mood? Hop on a metro transit bus in the downtown ride free zone during peak hours. Ride the Seattle Streetcar which takes you from downtown to the South Lake Union neighborhood.
When the new light rail connects with Seattle-Tacoma International Airport later this year, it will provide easy, fast and direct access into the heart of downtown Seattle.
The Washington State Ferry System is among the largest ferry systems in the world, carrying over 23 million passengers each year aboard 24 vessels operating from 20 terminals.
In-Season Costs
Like most destinations, the summer tends to be the Seattle’s high tourist season. Save money by visiting in the offseason which offers lower hotel rates and shorter lines at attractions. For travelers on a budget, Seattle offers an impressive array of free or affordable attractions including the Pike Place Market, wine tasting and museums. Washington Tourism - Seattle Attractions, Activities and Day Trips
Take a guided sea kayaking tour in the heart of the city or consider “flightseeing” by floatplane. Visit majestic Mount Rainier, or take in the stunning views and art at the Olympic Sculpture Park. Pike Place Market is the oldest continuously-operated farmers’ market in the U.S. A stroll through the market reveals Seattle’s culinary bounty: wild salmon, dungeness crab, fresh produce, strong coffee, craft beers and ales and a wide selection of internationally acclaimed Washington wines.

Boehm's Candies
Chocolate factory and retail shop just east of Seattle!
Category: Issaquah Tour near Seattle, Washington
Description of this Seattle area Attraction: Julius Boehm (1897-1981), our founder, was of Swiss-Austrian descent. He spent his first 40 years in Austria where he developed a love of art, classical music and sports.
After immigrating to the United States in 1940, he and partner George Tedlock opened the first Candy Kitchen in the north end of Seattle. A mutual friend, Candymaker Cecil Hall, helped perfect the American line of chocolates.
In 1956 the company moved to Issaquah where he built the Edelweiss Chalet and a beautiful Alpine Chapel in the shadow of the Issaquah Alps. The Luis Trenker Kirch'l is a replica of a 12th century chapel near St. Moritz, Switzerland.
The high standards Mr. Boehm set for candymaking are still painstakingly upheld. We're proud of our consistent quality and we're often told there is none better. From the most exquisite, rich European-style, hand-dipped chocolates to crunchy, classic American peanut brittle, perfection is found in every bite that bears the Boehms name. Over 200,000 travelers from near and far are lured annually to our chalet east of Seattle. You are welcome to visit the chalet and see our candy kitchen, the old world charm of the quarters upstairs, and stroll our grounds to the lovely Chapel nearby. Escorted tours are available by appointment.
