Those are great tips! Annagybe - By outdoors, I meant lots of time walking in the city. So I will definitely be taking Beth Ann's advice on packing comfy footwear.<br />Classically Casual - Yes, definitely intend to look out for the forecasts but my OCD mind starts putting vacation outfits together the moment the tickets are booked :)<br />Angie, I end up with near-frozen toes in such weather too. So oxfords and ballet flats it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174690 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:58:25 +0000 Angie 1174690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, it's May. Sorry. I'm still unfamilar with&nbsp;American holidays.&nbsp;</p> <p>What Anna said. </p> <p>You always need to layer in Seattle. And I do not wear sandals. Ever. I can't handle cold feet. Or cold anything for that matter. I do much better in tropical weather like you, Nidhi.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174612 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 18:56:23 +0000 Classically Casual 1174612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer usually doesn't consistently arrive until after 7/4, though there are one-off warm days earlier.&nbsp; We typically have rain for all the major holidays...at least that's how the campers tend to remember it.&nbsp; But watch the forecasts right before you leave for the current info...it will be the best source. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174590 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 18:17:20 +0000 annagybe 1174590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seattle resident here. Late May can still be chilly, 50's-60's.&nbsp;<br />Define outdoors? Walking about the city or hiking in the mountains?<br />If hiking, you'll need fleece and Gore-tex.<br />In the city you you'll need layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174495 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 16:21:46 +0000 Angie 1174495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When is Memorial Day?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174428 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 14:54:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1174428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chicagoan here, but I think traveling with at least two pair of all-day comfort shoes is crucial to enjoying a weekend trip.&nbsp; Switching from one pair to another can help keep feet fresh as well as provide "style variety."</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174258 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 05:01:26 +0000 Anonymous 1174258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll actually be going to Vancouver and Seattle at the end of March (part work, part vacation), so I'll be following this thread with interest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174257 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 04:59:14 +0000 Marmee 1174257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in Seattle, and I'm sorry to say it, but the weather is very unpredictable. &nbsp;It could be cold and rainy, or sunny and warm. &nbsp;I agree with Suz, you should definitely bring a waterproof rain coat and an umbrella. &nbsp;Also, wearing layers is helpful. &nbsp;That way you can add a layer if you get cold, or take one off if things warm up. &nbsp;And yes to cashmere. &nbsp;I wear cashmere (especially cardis) at least through June. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174254 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 04:55:54 +0000 Nidhi 1174254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Suz - because Vancouver is also now in the itinerary So, rain in May too? Sigh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1174057 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 01:33:57 +0000 Suz 1174057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumpity bump!&nbsp;</p> <p>I used to live in Vancouver (similar weather). I would definitely bring a rainproof or rain resistant coat (maybe both, depending on your activities planned). A fairly lightweight&nbsp;leather or pleather jacket if you have one could be good, too, or a fabric blazer.&nbsp;Some lightweight knits like light cashmere or merino. Jeans and booties or sneakers (or whatever good walking shoes are, for you). You could also bring some more open shoes in case of better weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-packing-for-seattle-memorial-day-wknd#post-1173980 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 23:56:29 +0000 Nidhi 1173980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you tend to feel colder than others, just like I do. So I thought you are the best person to advise me.&nbsp;We are planning a 4 day trip to Seattle&nbsp;during the Memorial Day weekend and I want to plan and pack appropriately. What kind of weather can I expect?&nbsp;We will be outdoors, exploring,&nbsp;most of the time and my threshold for 'chillness' is pretty low. Anything below mid-70's and I need a topper - atleast a light cardigan&nbsp;(Hey...I am from South India and used to tropical weather almost all year long!) I live in the Bay Area and I need to&nbsp;layer from mid-fall to mid-spring.<br />Thanks a lot in advance! </p>
