Frequently Asked Questions
How far apart are Seattle and Portland, OR?
Seattle is about 175 miles north of Portland, Oregon, and it takes about three hours to drive between these cities.
What is the best time of year to go to Seattle?
The best months to visit Seattle are September-October and April-May. These are Seattle’s shoulder months, meaning prices and tourist numbers will be less than the peak summer months.
Spring brings warmer weather (though winds, mornings, and evenings will still be chilly) and less chance of rain. Nearby mountain trails and scenic drives will re-open, and the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom.
Fall weather is mostly sunny with warm temperatures during the day. But you’ll still want some layers and a rain jacket. Autumn has some of Seattle’s best festivals, such as Bumbershoot (art and music festival) in September and the Earshot Jazz Festival and Seattle Restaurant Week in October.
June-August are the warmest, most crowded, and most expensive months to visit Seattle, so book your accommodation and tours in advance. November-March has the rainiest, coldest, windiest, and cloudiest weather of the year, but you can find some great accommodation deals during these months.
Is Seattle a walkable city?
Downtown Seattle is very walkable, but the rest of the city is spread out and requires a car or public transportation (Seattle has a fantastic bus system).
Is Seattle or Portland better to visit?
Seattle and Portland are both incredible destinations, and they will each give you very different experiences. So I highly recommend visiting both of these destinations!
