What is the weather in Seattle and what should i pack?|142585

I_ll be going to Seattle, WA this Sunday. I am from Denmark. I_ll be living with a host family in Kent, WA, and then go to school there. I wanna know what the weather is going to be like (Im used to a little winter with snow and average temperatures of around 20-40 degrees F). What should I pack? Other important things to know? Entertainment? Transportation?

lots of rain clothes... I mean a lot!!! I hope you love the rain as much as I do!
Its usually warmer here about 40-60 degrees... but wet :-)
Entertainment? ummm that_s a good question it depends what you like to do.... and where in Kent your at... downtown Kent has really grown and there are shops and a movie theater and restaurants down there...there is a ice skating rink close by... If your on the east hill of Kent and you like to swim there is a pool behind KM high school...
Oh if you like Thai food - Grandma Thai is really good :-) it doesn_t look like much on the outside but its great!
There is a lot to do in and around Kent it just depends on what you like to do!
Transportation.... also depends on where your at... the bus system pretty much goes every where in kent... and walking is always great... lol just don_t forget water proof clothes and an umbrella!

I think you_ll find the weather in Seattle to be similar to that in Denmark, though just a little bit warmer. Fall, winter and Spring are cool, sometimes cold enough to snow, with a lot of grey days and light rain.

We have not had snow yet this winter but it usually snows once or twice a year.

My suggestion is to pack clothes that you can wear in layers and shoes that can get wet. In general, this area tends to be less _trendy_ with clothing and styles and more casual and practical.

I hope you find your host family to be friendly and helpful, and hope you have a great experience here in the US!

Weather in the winter is grey and rainy, usually cool. Occasional cold and snow. The really cold weather is on the other side of the Cascades. Lots of great trails around, so a bike is a good way to get around.

Kent_s awesome. that_s where i am :) well you need a raincoat. a good one. umbrellas. ipod. there_s always a bus somewhere... maybe a light coat for under the rain coat. some jeans and sweats for at home. just comfy clothes. that_s all that i can really come up with.

at least 2 jackets, boots, jeans are ok but sweats are good for freezing days. as for transportation, get an ORCA card and take the bus to seattle lol

COLD pack warm clothes
