Navigating the Emerald City Heat

Now, let's talk about the pulse of our city this sunny June 23rd, 2026. If you're out, especially trying to catch some outdoor action, be aware that the National Weather Service still has a Heat Advisory until Wednesday at 11 pm. Monday hit 86 degrees, and today we're looking at a high around 80 with plenty of sunshine. Enjoy those long Seattle evenings, with sunset holding strong at 9:11 pm until June 30, but watch for hazards! Eric reported a 'moderately large branch' blocking an uphill lane near the water taxi, and more up the hill. Metro buses are on a regular weekday schedule, and the West Seattle Water Taxi is on its regular summer schedule with extra runs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, including later-night service. Good news for ferry commuters: the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route is back to its regular three-boat schedule. Plus, city cameras are back with updating-framegrab on the SDOT map, so check the High Bridge and Low Bridge before you roll out. Stay safe out there! So, whether you're celebrating our West Seattle High School track stars at Nike Nationals, signing up the next generation of Ultimate champions, or just navigating the beautiful, bustling Emerald City, remember what makes Seattle special: our passion, our community, and our never-say-die spirit. Keep an eye on those young athletes, keep cool in the heat, and let's keep that Seattle energy roaring! We'll be here, bringing you all the action. Go Seattle!
