Ahhh. Nothing but blue skies, cloudless and beaming. The air is warm and there is a modest breeze. It’s about 83 degrees.
Just feeling that this must be announced to the world, as Seattle summers have been pretty crappy recently. I appreciate this weather, Master Nature, and I look forward to any repetition you’d like to make in this manner.
Summer is the best.
Cool. We’re flying up there tomorrow for the weekend, and the weather report on weather.com looked great. Thanks for arranging nice weather for us.
Just doin’ my job.
I’m wearing shorts at work today, in violation of regulations! Yay me!
masonite: I’ll see your shorts and raise you a tank top! The only times I’ve worn a tank top before is under a sweater or something.
Unfortunately, the AC has kicked in to compensate for the warm weather, and I am now freezing.
its not even Summer!
but i do love this weather, finally some heat!!
Yes, awesome weather indeed.
Now if somebody could point me towards a nice, flat (for WA) stretch of land to go rollerblading this weekend?
burke-gilman trail?
it will prob be really crowded…

Here at my workplace (a major healthcare facility), the power has gone off 4 times already today. We’re told that Seattle City Light is “browning” us out because of the high power usage today.
Let’s see: record-breaking heat, major closures on I90, I5, I405 all planned for the weekend. Power’s failing already. Yep, it’s gonna be a doozy!
I love everything about Seattle, except for the sinister geoduck swarms.
lucky for me I live in the metro area where the power NEVER goes out…bwhahaha!
I love Elliot Bay. I love Lake Union. I love Mount Ranier. I love the Cascades. I love the way Seattle sparkles under the sun.
And since I just dropped the kids off at the pool, I’m feeling pretty content.
Yep, not a bad place to be right now.
I’m in the metro area too. At a major healthcare facility. I just can’t say which one - I don’t want to scare the patients.
I love Seattle too, it’s the best place to live I can think of. But it is also a very wacky place. Witness the gambling football coach, the naked bicyclers, and the perennial Green Lake itch, just to cover a broad spectrum. Not to mention the traffic, especially on a sunny Friday.
I’ve been here for 13 years, and I can tell that my blood has thickened. 83 degrees just seems incredibly hot to me - now it’s 84!
um…you just used the bathroom?
thanks for sharing
Dangit you guys, you’re breaking the regional code - yer supposed to tell people it RAINS all the time so they won’t move here! 
Sure is nice though - think I’ll have to leave work a little early today & get out to enjoy it.
BTW, Peach, I think criminalcatalog meant that literally - took his/her children to the public swimming pool (at least I hope so). 
So where am I? Inside on the damned internet. Thanks, criminalcatalog.
turns off computer, creaks open the door, blinks in the dazzling sun
koee in the foothills 
SO…since the weather is so fine, what are the chances that I am going to lure any of you into THIS?
I spent my day on the south end of Lake Washington only about 20 feet from the shore. Boats all over the place and children screaming as they splash in the cool water. And I was stuck inside of a stuffy 737 at the Boeing plant working with the FAA while they audit the Renton plant. If there is any consolation, I will spend tomorrow at Lake Tapps helping my sister and her SO break in their new ski boat.
Naked bicyclers? My mother and sister both live in the Seattle area, and neither of them has told me about this! Details, we want details!!
It was really hot yesterday, and it’s now 93 degrees today. I gotta say I’m lovin’ the weather. I just got done swimming in Lake Washington (which is damn cold!) and am about to head out to play some basketball. If this weather continues we may have another droubt like we had a couple of summers ago. And people think it rains all the time here.
