Apartments for Rent in Seattle, WA (8,027 Rentals)

You’ve probably heard that the weather in Seattle is rainy, with a chance of rain, followed by rain, right? Fortunately, for residents of this lovely city, that weather forecast is far from the truth. Though Seattle is blessed with more than its fair share of precipitation, the sun does indeed shine as well. Granted, the summer weather doesn’t really set in until early to mid-July, but it typically lasts through September. During July and August, you’ll enjoy comfortable temps in the mid-70s and lots of sunny skies. September is still warm, but the sun makes briefer appearances.

Fall in Seattle is “wet season,” starting with October, which sees lots of overcast days and impressive cloud activity. But the rainy part of the season really gets rolling in November, with what feels like unrelenting misting and drizzle. By December, you realize that the mild nature of this climate with still comfortable mid-40s temps stops no one from continuing to enjoy outdoor activities like biking, hiking and running.

January may be snowy winter weather in other states in this great union, but Seattle rarely ever gets the white stuff. Our temperate climes allow year-round growth of rosemary and rose bushes, and by February it actually starts to look like Spring, due to green buds and blooming flowers. March teases fair weather with a bit of sunshine now and again as well as temperatures reaching the 70s on occasion. And the opening cherry blossoms give everything a bright look and feel.

Rounding out the seasons, here comes April. Still drizzling, but no one cares. May showers are some of the last you’ll experience before summer returns. By June, you’re ready for the warm weather and the bright sun. You just need to soldier through the remaining rain showers, overcast days and low 60-degree weather until July arrives.
