- bentcorner 5y agoLooking at the last 50 years of data and it's pretty clear Seattle is warming up: https://www.currentresults.com/Weather-Decades/USA/WA/Seattle/temperature-average-by-decade-seattle.php https://www.currentresults.com/Weather-Decades/USA/WA/Seattl... Whether this is due to climate change, urban development or something else entirely could certainly be explained in more depth, but the trend is there.

You begin to wonder whether this is due to some change to the train infrastructure. But behind you someone shouts “the train was 10 minutes late on one day 20 years ago”. Do you dismiss your hypothesis?
