Seattle weather: Scorching weather ahead for western Washington
The Brief Western Washington is expecting its hottest temperatures of 2025 from Sunday to Monday, with Seattle highs reaching around 87 degrees on Sunday (potentially tying a record) and staying in the mid-80s on Monday. A Heat Advisory is in effect, and South Sound and Cascade valleys could see temperatures in the low 90s. We're forecasting the hottest temperatures of 2025 to arrive in western Washington on Sunday. Highs in Seattle could skyrocket to around 87 degrees on Sunday. For Saturday, it'll still feel hot by this afternoon as highs lift to the low 80s in Seattle. You can plan on sunshine all day long. If Sea-Tac hits 87 degrees on Sunday afternoon, it would tie the record for that date. Unfortunately, overnight lows could make for uncomfortable sleeping weather the next few nights. Our homes hang onto the heat much longer than the outside air. This sweltering weather could make sleeping difficult for those without air conditioning. What's next Temperatures stay scorching on Monday, but highs cool only slightly to the mid 80s in National Weather Service has posted a Heat Advisory from 10 a.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Monday. The South Sound and the Cascade valleys (e.g. North Bend) could be the hottest with highs at least in the low 90s. Here are important safety reminders for the upcoming heat: Stay hydrated and slather on the sunscreen. Don't walk your dogs in the hottest hours of the day. Try to do a walk in the evening or morning when the pavement isn't too hot for their paws. Never leave people or pets in a car in this type of weather. It could easily be deadly. If you're cooling off along the water, remember to always wear a life vest. Water temperatures remain cold year-round in Western Washington. Cold water shock is a real threat. Even strong swimmers can succumb. Check on the beloved seniors in your life to make sure they're finding ways to stay cool. If you don't have A/C at home, consider heading into a building with A/C at times in the coming days to give your system a break. This could include a mall, movie theater or library (if it's open). Be extra vigilant to avoid starting fires. Temperatures cool dramatically by the end of the workweek. Even by Tuesday or Wednesday, we'll experience marked relief from the heat we'll endure this weekend. Take good care! Thanks so much for choosing FOX 13.

‘Dine out for life' today at 18 Tacoma-area restaurants, bars
A longstanding diner, a Vietnamese dessert spot, several cafes and a few of the city's best restaurants are among 18 Tacoma-area businesses participating in this year's Dining Out for Life, an annual nationwide fundraiser that supports local HIV service organizations. On Thursday, April 24, South Sound participants will donate a portion of their sales to Affordable Housing and Treatment Homecare (AHAT). The nonprofit has helped people living with HIV/AIDS access affordable healthcare and housing, expanding their services to also assist those with Hepatitis C in 2016. The biggest percentage will come from The Mix, the beloved queer bar with nightly karaoke near downtown Tacoma, which will donate 75% of all sales on Thursday to AHAT. The Powder Room Champagne Bar, open for lunch and dinner in the Stadium District, will donate 25%. Most of the other local spots will send 10% of sales, with a couple offering an undisclosed fixed amount. In Tacoma, participating businesses include: ▪ Lincoln District: Bambu ▪ McKinley: Dusty's Hideaway, Tami's in Tacoma ▪ Dome District: Alfred's Cafe ▪ Downtown: Wooden City, Chez Lafayette Creole Brasserie, en Rama, Fusion Donut Cafe & Cocktail Lounge, Soulberry Coffee House ▪ St. Helens/Stadium: The Mix, Structure Cellars, The Powder Room ▪ Hilltop: Red Elm Cafe, Three Hearts ▪ Sixth Ave: Primo Grill In Puyallup, Bourbon Street Creole Kitchen and The Coaster will support the cause. More 2,400 restaurants are expected to participate in at least 22 states on Thursday, sending funds to 50-some service local organizations. Past events have raised $4.5 million, according to the event page. In each city, donations from participating restaurants are sent exclusively to the local partner. 'Dining Out for Life is a fun, easy way for the community to give back,' said AHAT executive director Chace Hunter in a press release. The nonprofit serves 'some of our most vulnerable populations,' he added. 'In a time when funding for HIV care and housing is being slashed from administrative budgets, we rely on that support more than ever.' Around 15,000 people have been diagnosed with HIV in Washington, according to the state Department of Health's 2024 report, with most living in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. More than 1.2 million are living with HIV nationwide, per data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Another 32 restaurants in Seattle will also send a portion of sales on April 24 to Lifelong, a nonprofit that supports vulnerable populations, including those living with HIV, kidney disease and diabetes.
