WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Here’s why foghorns sounded all morning

The fog has cleared now, but it made for a memorable – and loud – morning around the peninsula. Thanks to everyone who sent photos! Above, Carolyn Newman caught the sunrise from Harbor Avenue. Below, Theresa Arbow-O’Connor‘s view from further west on Alki:

Later, the fog still clung to the water for a while – Lars Lindblad photographed the Olympics peeking above the fog bank to the west:

And James Bratsanos photographed the eastward view, looking toward downtown:

Fog isn’t in the forecast again until Tuesday – tomorrow is likely to bring rain.

    Was wondering what the deal was! Heard them all the way up in High Point but we weren’t fogged in at all.

    I LOVE the sound of foghorns in the morning.

      You took my exact words. Reminds me of beind a kid. We’d run around and pretend the fog was chasing us up every street we passed.

      I love the sound of foghorns too and boy were they blowing yesterday morning! The one time I didn’t like hearing them was when we were out in the Strait of Juan de Fuca fishing and it was so foggy you couldn’t even see your hand in front of you and one goes off and my dad said “pull up your lines”!!! He said it was a freighter. YIKES!

Sorry, comment time is over.
