The official high at Sea-Tac hit 95 degrees yesterday, Sunday, August 15 breaking the old record for the date of 92 degrees.
The weather service has issued an “excessive heat warning” through today, when temperatures are expected to get as high as 91 degrees. The good news: The weather is expected to cool down into the 70s later in the week.
Until then, for those of you looking to find a place to cool off or duck out of the heat, try hitting the International Fountain at Seattle Center, or spending some time cozied up to a good book—and free air conditioning—at the nearest public library. The Queen Anne branch will be open from 1 to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
