Headed to Seattle this Summer on business. Two questions:

Where should I jump? I'll have 2-3 days

What part of what month will provide the most consistent weather?

Thanks!!

Seattle and consistent weather should never be used together, unless there is RAIN in the sentence......

Try Skydive Snohomish for a close DZ.

Using SeaTac as a starting point:

Skydive Snohomish (Snohomish, WA) is 39 miles, approx 46 min driving time. (Caravan summer season, 182's and 206 off-season)

Skydive Kapowsin (Shelton, WA) is 71 miles, approx. 1:15 driving time. (Otter/Caravan year-round)

Plenty of good people at both places.

Consistent weather? It's the Pacific NorthWest :)

July-September will be fairly consistently good - no guarantees, but all three months are fairly reliable. Sunny, long days, warm temps, low humidity.

The two DZs that aphid posted about are the two closest to Seattle that for sure will be operating this summer; two others are probable (Northwest Skydivers in Mt. Vernon and Jet City Skydivers in Bremerton) but there's still some uncertainty about what those DZs will look like this year.

If you come in early August (8-10th) you can come to the Leap for Lupus Boogie at Kapowsin, but there's plenty going on throughout the summer as well.

IIRC summer hours both DZs are usually closed Monday and Tuesday.

Summers are generally fantastic Monday through Friday! We have a string of a few years now where that saying held true but it stays light very late here so if you want to sneak in a few jumps on weekday evenings then the opportunity is there.

Let us know when your going to be up this direction as I am sure some of the Seattle area jumpers will be happy to jump with a fellow DZ.com'er
