Jeff Renner, stop talking.
"This winter, expect...absolutely anything," courtesy of the Seattle P-I. Thanks P-I...tell us something we don't already know! Oh, we understand, "El Nino is so last year..." and that this year is apparently "ENSO neutral," but is unpredictable weather in the Pacific Northwest really news? In general, Seattle winters and weather have always been unpredictable. Take this year for example, when it was snowing the last days of March and pushing 70 degrees yesterday, the first day of October. Basically what we're saying is they could post that headline everyday or it could be easily revised it to cover all Seattle weather, "As for weather in Seattle, expect...absolutely anything!"
A couple weeks ago we promised a friend a whole month more of summer, because we can control the weather like that...and obviously, we totally failed. Drop your photos of Seattle obscured by clouds and rain for the next nine months in the Seattlest Flickr Pool, which is never gloomy or grey.
While we'll be cursing the same weather in a few months, there's something sexy and energizing about a summer storm in Seattle. Add your erotic Seattle weather photography and anything else to our wonderful Seattlest Flickr Pool.
There are 12 weeks until Election Day, and 12 issues in our state's gubernatorial race (13 if you count Eastern Washington's concerns). Each week we'll be taking an award-winning look at where the candidates stand.
After what seemed to be the longest winter in Washington history, a weekend full of warm sunshine was just what Seattle needed. Thankfully, this weekend finally delivered--and then some! With tempratures topping the 90's both Saturday and Sunday, Seattle tied high temperature records for those days. What did you do to enjoy the sunshine--was it too hot or just right for pride? Did any of the local drag queens' makeup run? If it was a wee bit too warm for you, as it was for this (still) sweating Seattlest, we want to know what you did to stay cool.

Ryan Dobosh lived in Seattle from 1989--2002, before moving to Los Angeles. He is in town this week and has some thoughts about his old home.
Yesterday's stormy weather left over 35,000 homes in Western Washington without power. Nearly 20,000 of the homes affected were in Seattle and South King County. The National Weather Service warned of gusts of over 55 mph yesterday and, while it's no scientific measure, the windows of our house were rattling and the power flickered more than once last night. Thankfully, it never went out. The Washington State Ferry Service reported "steady winds at nearly 40 mph" off Alki Beach, which must have made for some unpleasantly rough weather on the Sound.
As our friend pointed out, between the weather, the Mariners, and The Love Guru, 2008 could go down as the worst summer in history.
The weather, it just gets worse.
This is what the sun looks like, and that blue stuff behind it, that is called the sky.
If you thought snow in late March was strange, just wait till you try snow in late April! The National Weather Service says Western Washington should expect a cold weekend, with high temperatures venturing into the low 40s. They've forecasted 1 to 2 feet of snow in the Cascades over the weekend and lowland snow showers at elevations as low as 1,000 feet. So last Saturday it was pushing 80 degrees, and this Saturday we should expect snow showers? Great news for skiers who don't want to let go of an epic season. Not so great for the rest of us who are clamoring for a little springtime sunshine.
