August is the payoff for every gray day Seattle survives the rest of the year. Warm weather, long daylight, and almost no rain make it the best month to get out and enjoy the city. In this video, I share my top picks for making the most of August in Seattle, from long-standing traditions to a few hidden gems only locals know about.

Topics covered in this video:

Seafair Weekend, including the Blue Angels over Lake Washington and the hydroplane races (July 31 to August 2, 2026)
Summer concert series at ZooTunes and Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville
The Capitol Hill Block Party (August 7-9) and the Edmonds Block Party the same weekend
The Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire in Snohomish
Free Shakespeare in the Park with GreenStage
Festival Sundiata and Dancing Til Dusk downtown

I have been a Seattle real estate broker since 2008 and a local investor since 2002, so I know this city inside and out, not just the market but the lifestyle that makes people want to live here. If you are thinking about buying, selling, or relocating to the Seattle area, I would love to help you make your next move.
