Is there much fog in Seattle?

Question

For those of us that love fog, is there much fog in Seattle?
Where are the areas with the most fog?

Answer 1

June and early July are prime time for some morning fog with our marine breezes, but it's not the foggiest time of the year.

Seattle averages 41 days of dense fog a year (with visibility of 1/4 mile or less) with October being the foggiest month of the year with an average of 7 days of fog.

The foggiest year was 1954, where we had 65 days of dense fog.

During the Holidays in 1985, many locals wondered if the fog would ever lift, as the 13 days between Dec. 16 and Dec. 28 holds the record of most consecutive days with dense fog.

Statistically, the foggiest days of the year are Oct. 16, Dec. 13 and Dec. 16, each with 16 instances of dense fog over the past 49 years.

If you really like fog, the foggiest place in the entire U.S. is at Cape Disappointment, Washington, near Ilwaco, which is on the Long Beach peninsula down on the Pacific Coast in southwest Washington. Cape Disappointment, which is about 170 miles from Seattle, gets nearly three and a half months of thick fog each year.
