"I live in Tukwila and when I woke up it looked like a Winter wonderland. My car was covered and so were the streets. It is a powdery snow. The side streets were bad but once I got on I-5 to Downtown Seattle the roads were ok." - Scott
"Driving to Seattle from Issaquah the surface streets were damp, with the freeway and overpasses being icy around Eastgate and Factoria." - Rick
"Wet roads, no sign of snow across the Hewitt Ave. trestle. Starts out, scattered clouds. Everett at I-5, no snow, road wet right about freezing. (Much of I-5 through Everett is elevated with potential for ice.) SB I-5 quickly turned from clear skies to light snow by 41st, back to stars visible and then fog at 526. Road frosty in spots, wet in others. WB 526, fog gone by Evergreen Way. Seaway Blvd icy with a little snow. Lightly traveled roads and parking lots around Boeing are frozen solid and very slick in places." - Kirby's commute to Boeing in Everett
