NOAA's 1991-2020 median first 32°F night is November 23 at Seattle and October 12 at Spokane; winterize by September 28, two weeks ahead of the earlier date. By our car rule Seattle stays driving through November and Spokane through September, then 3 months of dry-day drives follow at Seattle. 12 Washington listings offer indoor or climate-controlled space.
None at Seattle and 5 at Spokane (October to April), plus 3 and 2 months of dry-day drives. Those garaged months hold 44.0 of the 45.4 inches of snow Spokane averages a year (97%), which is the load on a cover or carport roof. At Seattle a car is driving from March to November (9 months), against 5 at Spokane.
Of 34 live Washington listings, 11 list indoor space and 1 climate-controlled units, against 10 outdoor and 10 covered. By city: Seattle (25 listed, 2 indoor), Spokane Valley (4 listed, 4 indoor), Redmond (3 listed, 3 indoor) and Federal Way (1 listed, 1 indoor). Most indoor listings: Spokane Valley (4), Redmond (3) and Seattle (2). Ask whether indoor means heated; listings span 5 cities in all.
At Spokane, 5 months average a low at or below 32°F, all of them garaged months by our car rule. Spokane logs 132.0 nights at or below 32°F and 2.2 at or below 0°F a year; December, the coldest month, averages 24.3°F and is garaged for a car.
After the last frost. The median last 32°F night is March 2 at Seattle and April 26 at Spokane; the last 28°F hard freeze comes around February 4 and April 6. Our rule makes March the first month driving at Seattle and May at Spokane. That month Seattle averages a 39.9°F low and a 54.2°F high. Reverse each winterization step first.
