6:01 AM: Good morning! It’s Tuesday, June 16, 2026. Next Seattle FIFA World Cup match is Friday.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET
Also over for now, the summery heat (record high again Monday, 91). Summer officially arrives early Sunday, so this is technically still spring. Today’s forecast is for increasing clouds, high in the low 70s. Sunrise was at 5:11 am (earliest of the year, remaining there until June 23); sunset will be at 9:09 pm.

SPOTLIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERAS
The city cameras’ updating-framegrab feature is still not working; we’ve reported it, still no ETA for restoration. In the meantime, you can check live video for any SDOT camera via the SDOT map. State cameras are working and we do have one in the regular lineup:
1st Avenue South Bridge:
(We’ll return the regular camera lineup when the city cams are fully working again.)
See trouble on the bridges/streets/paths/water? Please text or call our hotline (when you can do it safely, and after you’ve reported to authorities if they’re not already on scene) – 206-293-6302. Thank you!
