Bring layers
The Pacific Northwest is a maritime climate. Temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day. It can be cloudy and chilly in the morning with blue skies and sun in the afternoon. It's best to pack clothes that can be layered to adjust to changing temperatures as needed. And of course it's wise to bring a rain jacket.
