Weather and Environment
Additional Resources
- WA Dept. of Transportation
- WSDOT operates low power radio stations at many mountain passes. These are typically at AM 530 kilocycles. They also broadcast traffic information and construction schedules.
- NOAA/National Weather Service
-
- The US National Weather Service (NWS) is part of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA). Visit their sites for current information and additional satellite views and raw current weather data. The geostationary satellite page (http://www.goes.noaa.gov/) has lots more images from other angles plus time-lapse MPEG movies you can download.
- However...
- That's the good news. The bad news is that NOAA apparently has a crack team of specialists whose sole job is constantly to change web addresses to keep us off balance (conspiracy theorists take note). If one of these links has expired, they've done it again. Tired of it? A list of your congressional representatives can be found here. (You might also be kind enough to let us know, too, after you send them a scathing denunciation.)
- Fearless Forecast: For all the government agencies supplying weather data, the prediction is for gathering clouds of uncertainty regarding where their data will be presented on the Web. As of May 16, 2018, the weather for zip code 98012 can be found here (interestingly, containing a notice that the location of the information will soon change again; sigh).

June 2020: We note with dismay that the government-hating current administration has eliminated funding for the GOES satellite program, so at some point in 2021 we will be unable to bring you this useful and interesting data and imagery. UNLESS you take a moment to write your congressional representatives, and most importantly, register and vote!
