7:09 PM: Commenter “Community Member” first mentioned it in comments on our previous storm story – but we could hardly believe it until we saw it in the photo above: Hail/sleet has fallen in various West Seattle spots. We’re checking the forecast to see what’s next.

7:20 PM: More photos – this one is from Steve:

He explains, “It sounded like really heavy rain for the past 10 minutes up here in Admiral (Just East of Schmitz Park). When I let our dog out, the rear deck was covered in some kind of frozen precipitation. You can also see our umbrella that was broken off in the windstorm.”
Video from Mark in High Point:

From Kate in Seaview:

And from Kyle near Ercolini Park:

So far as we can tell, this wasn’t forecast, but in this kind of storm, just about anything can happen. Tonight’s low is expected to be in the 40s.

ADDED 8:49 PM: One more photo – texted, so we don’t know who to credit:

Hiawatha Playfield, if you don’t recognize it.

We got pea-sized pellets at my house. We tried collecting them but then it spilled once we got it into the freezer drawer. That’s gonna be interesting later.

The hail was REALLY LOUD in Puget Ridge.

same situation here on pigeon pt!
it was so loud and kno long against window panes, coming in at an angle from the north!
it’s been a wild day of weather but
all in all we should consider ourselves relatively lucky in the grand scheme of things.

Pellet sized. My lawn is still covered 20min later. (I’m up near 35th and Manning)

I posted a photo on twitter.

I was in the middle of doing a workout at the Hiawatha track when the down pour and hailstorm showered and eventually covered the field and track. FYI…pea size ice pellets sting!
