As of this Friday, the 5:00 p.m. Seattle sunset will be returning to guide us out of the Big Dark.
It’s the very first promise of winter ending here in Seattle: the sun is about to start setting later than 4:00 p.m. again. This Friday, January 26 the Seattle sunset will set at 5:00 p.m. for the first time this year! The winter days are finally about to start getting noticeably longer (and hopefully a little brighter too).
Read on for more details.
The sun won’t set after 6:00 p.m. in Seattle until early March. We officially entered the Big Dark back in early November when we reached the end of Daylight Saving Time and set our clocks back an hour. Since then, we’ve been seeing the sun set depressingly early. On March 10, the clocks “spring” forward and we’ll start seeing 7:00 p.m. sunsets!
