Frequently asked
Will the sunset be good tonight in Seattle?

What makes a good sunset in Seattle?
Seattle sunsets are rare enough that a high score is a real event. The Olympic Mountains frame the western horizon over Puget Sound, and when the clouds break in summer the alpenglow on the Olympics is exceptional. July and August are peak season: the Pacific High pushes the marine layer back and gives you clear evenings with sunsets past 9 PM. Kerry Park is the classic vantage, Mt. Rainier to the southeast as a bonus on clear days.
What time is sunset in Seattle tonight?
Seattle sunset ranges from around 4:20 PM in December to 9:11 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
