What is the weather in Seattle and what should i pack?

I'll be going to Seattle, WA this Sunday. I am from Denmark. I'll be living with a host family in Kent, WA, and then go to school there. I wanna know what the weather is going to be like (Im used to a little winter with snow and average temperatures of around 20-40 degrees F). What should I pack? Other important things to know? Entertainment? Transportation?What is the weather in Seattle and what should i pack?
lots of rain clothes... I mean a lot!!! I hope you love the rain as much as I do!

Its usually warmer here about 40-60 degrees... but wet :-)

Entertainment? ummm that's a good question it depends what you like to do.... and where in Kent your at... downtown Kent has really grown and there are shops and a movie theater and restaurants down there...there is a ice skating rink close by... If your on the east hill of Kent and you like to swim there is a pool behind KM high school...

Oh if you like Thai food - Grandma Thai is really good :-) it doesn't look like much on the outside but its great!

There is a lot to do in and around Kent it just depends on what you like to do!

Transportation.... also depends on where your at... the bus system pretty much goes every where in kent... and walking is always great... lol just don't forget water proof clothes and an umbrella!
I think you'll find the weather in Seattle to be similar to that in Denmark, though just a little bit warmer. Fall, winter and Spring are cool, sometimes cold enough to snow, with a lot of grey days and light rain.



We have not had snow yet this winter but it usually snows once or twice a year.



My suggestion is to pack clothes that you can wear in layers and shoes that can get wet. In general, this area tends to be less "trendy" with clothing and styles and more casual and practical.



I hope you find your host family to be friendly and helpful, and hope you have a great experience here in the US!What is the weather in Seattle and what should i pack?
COLD pack warm clothes
Weather in the winter is grey and rainy, usually cool. Occasional cold and snow. The really cold weather is on the other side of the Cascades. Lots of great trails around, so a bike is a good way to get around.
at least 2 jackets, boots, jeans are ok but sweats are good for freezing days. as for transportation, get an ORCA card and take the bus to seattle lol
Kent's awesome. that's where i am :) well you need a raincoat. a good one. umbrellas. ipod. there's always a bus somewhere... maybe a light coat for under the rain coat. some jeans and sweats for at home. just comfy clothes. that's all that i can really come up with.
