Definition

For coverage purposes, metro Seattle is Seattle, WA together with every incorporated community within 79 miles that is closer to Seattle than to any other metro anchor — 20 communities and about 1,545,263 people beyond the core city. Communities are assigned to their nearest anchor, so the boundaries follow travel distance rather than county lines.

Geography

The anchor sits at 47.6062°, -122.3321°. Coverage extends in 7 compass directions from it, reaching 79 miles at its furthest. The largest surrounding community is Tacoma, WA — 203,446 people, 25 miles south.

Climate

Between October and April the Seattle area averages an overnight low of 41.6°F and reaches 24.2°F at its coldest, with 151 days below 45°F — about 5 months. A cat’s thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F against a typical indoor 64–72°F, so those are the months an indoor cat here is actively hunting for a heat source.
