Seattle is starting Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and a high near 75°F — the kind of rare Pacific Northwest day that reminds you exactly why you live here. Light east winds of 3 to 9 mph keep things comfortable all afternoon, and the National Weather Service notes that while coastal stratus is filling in along the shoreline, it won’t push far inland. Enjoy it: Ballard to Beacon Hill should see wall-to-wall sunshine.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service is tracking increasing low-level onshore flow, which is actually pulling temperatures down a touch from recent days — the afternoon may ease to around 72°F after peaking near 75°F. That’s nothing to complain about. Skies over the Puget Sound interior stay mostly clear, and visibility toward the Olympics and Mount Rainier should be excellent this morning before any midday marine haze settles in along the water.
Best Window to Be Outside
Honestly? All day. A morning walk through Discovery Park or along the Burke-Gilman Trail is ideal before the light onshore flow kicks in. By afternoon, temps settle into the low 70s with that gentle east breeze — about as pleasant as Seattle gets in June. Pack sunscreen if you’re spending time at Alki Beach or Gas Works Park.
Events Tonight and This Week
Heading downtown tonight? Madison Beer brings her locket tour to the Paramount Theatre this evening. Weather is perfect for it — lows drop to around 54°F after sunset, so bring a light layer. A Madison Beer t-shirt is a great way to show up ready. If you haven’t locked in seats, Find tickets on StubHub before they’re gone.
Wednesday night, Buju Banton & Stephen Marley: Roots and Rhymes Tour plays Marymoor Live in Redmond — an outdoor venue that should be absolutely ideal with clear skies and calm winds. Get tickets on SeatGeek while availability lasts.
Also on the calendar: the Seattle Mariners host the Baltimore Orioles at T-Mobile Park on Wednesday, June 17 and Thursday, June 18. Both games land on beautiful afternoons with highs near 75–76°F and barely a cloud in sight. Grab a Seattle Mariners jersey and a Seattle Mariners fitted cap before you head to SoDo — tailgating conditions are about as good as it gets.
Wind and Gear Notes
Winds stay light today (3–9 mph) and ease further Wednesday (2–7 mph). If you’ve got a pop-up canopy tent with weights set up for a backyard gathering, make sure the weights are secured — evening breezes off the Sound can pick up after dark even on calm days.
Dinner Tonight: Fire Up the Grill
75°F and sunny is textbook grilling weather. Burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob are all excellent calls tonight. Keep an instant-read meat thermometer handy to nail your cook, and a grill brush and scraper set to clean up after. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
This gorgeous stretch holds all week. Wednesday brings sunny skies and another high near 75°F, with a mostly clear overnight low around 55°F. Thursday nudges up to near 76°F as the low-level flow goes light. The National Weather Service sees the upper-level ridge staying offshore through the weekend, locking in dry conditions — though a weak system Sunday could clip the North Cascades with a brief shower. For Seattle proper, expect beautiful weather straight through the weekend.
