Tacoma, WA – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for much of western Washington, including Tacoma, Olympia, and Bellingham, as snow is expected to accumulate between 1 and 3 inches through Monday afternoon.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle, the advisory began at 10 p.m. Saturday and will remain in place until 1 p.m. Monday. The affected areas include the Tacoma metro, Hood Canal, San Juan County, the Lower Chehalis Valley, and the East Puget Sound Lowlands.

Residents should prepare for hazardous travel conditions, especially during the Monday morning commute. The NWS warns that roads may become slippery, and reduced visibility could make driving difficult. Authorities urge drivers to slow down, allow extra travel time, and be prepared for potential power outages due to the winter weather.

Temperatures are expected to remain near freezing, increasing the likelihood of lingering snow and ice on roadways. Travelers should check local road conditions and updates from the Washington State Department of Transportation before heading out.
