The temperature rarely rises above 85 degrees, most of the time it’s in the 70s sunny and gloriously green wherever you look. Summer is spectacular and it’s true, the bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle. Summer features an average high temperature of 72 degrees between June and August though many people would say the real summer spans July through September. It’s not unheard of to get a light snow/freeze in April and a balmy week in February. Our temperate climate means that the crocuses and cherry trees will start to bloom in February and warmer days will occur with frequency until summer.

Days can be like summer, like winter, or anywhere in between. Seattle’s spring and fall seasons are anybody’s guess. Yes, it does drizzle and there are gray skies through much of winter but though it may be gray and wet, there will be green grass under your feet most of the time. Lately our days of snow on the ground total just about a week but it is variable. Winter remains temperate with average high temperatures of 47 degrees in November through February. All humor aside and despite its reputation, Seattle has a lower annual rainfall that Boston, New York, Chicago, Houston, or Washington DC. The area is a temperate rainforest climate and remains green all year around. The show opening will be this Friday Feb 3 during Art Walk.Seattle enjoys a mild climate throughout the year, with what essentially appears to be two seasons, summer and other.

I actually will have some of my 2D needle felting work at Social Fabric for their show 'Love for Sale'. So when none of the usual people were available, she recommended me for the Assistant Craftsperson position.I'm still doing my artwork, but admittedly more with fibers than with painting. When I was doing my internship at Seattle Opera back in 2016, I shadowed her on an extra day, and I think I impressed her with my desire to work in Theater Crafts. She's actually the main reason why I got this opportunity. This is a great learning experience for me and the current Craft Master, Lia, teaches me about the Craft trade/industry every chance she gets. She's been painting sets and working on hats and shoes as she learns the ropes of the job. Julie's felted animal heads were exhibited as part of 'Escape Routes' - the 2015 BFA Senior Exhibition. Julie McPheters (BFA Studio Art, '15) has been hired by the Seattle Opera as an Assistant Craftsperson.
