Local know-how pays off in Bellevue
Bellevue runs the classic Puget Sound pattern: a long, damp, mild stretch from October through May and a dry, comfortable summer. Rain is near-constant but light, so walks continue year round and the practical requirement is a towel and a rain shell rather than a cancelled booking. Summer is the one season where heat is worth planning around, and even then it is short.
When demand peaks
The Eastside tech employer base drives the pattern. Microsoft, the Amazon Bellevue offices and T-Mobile keep a large staff travelling for offsites and conferences, clustering in May and September, and the Microsoft fiscal-year end in June adds a mid-summer spike. Long-stay boarding of one to two weeks is unusually common here because so much of that travel is international.
