Western Washington experienced a mix of rain and snow, leading to school closures and delays due to slick roads. Seattle saw its first measurable snowfall of 0.3 inches at Sea-Tac Airport, ending an 8-year snowless streak. The winter weather conditions persisted, with snow observed in various locations, including Tukwila, Mount Vernon, and Arlington. The area faced challenges in commuting and driving safely due to the changing weather conditions.
High of 45° today in Seattle. Every day in March has had a high of 45° or less. The last time Seattle had a streak of 5 days or more with highs 45° or less in March was 15 years ago ( March 5-11, 2009 ). Winter 2023-24 will not be snowless in Seattle with 0.3 inches Monday. #wawx
Snow reportedly fell in Tukwila, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), while other locations including Mount Vernon and Arlington reported a coating of snow last night. More here: https://t.co/MwvrfLrXgH
A SNOWLESS WINTER NO MORE! ❄️ Sea-Tac (where records are kept) officially received 0.3” of snow last night, making for Seattle’s first (and very likely last) measurable snowfall of the winter!
This morning, I looked out my window and saw a little dusting of snow. Are we sure it's March?? Regardless, be prepared for any conditions. Fog, (mainly in Kent/Auburn/Federal way) rain, and apparently still snow. https://t.co/CYmI00m0ZS

Snow at the buzzer! It looks like this winter will NOT be Seattle’s first snowless one in 8 years. Sea-Tac Airport, where weather records are kept, has some snow on the ground. @NWSSeattle any idea on how much accumulated?
