What Washington's weather means for companies
Staff in Washington dress for two seasons, with July highs averaging 90°F, so a uniform program needs a short-sleeve set as well as an outerwear layer. Split the uniform order by season: polos and tees for May to September, when highs reach 70°F or more, and soft shells and hoodies for November to March, when they stay under 65°F. Cold mornings arrive in January, when lows average 30°F, so a fleece-lined jacket or insulated vest belongs in the field uniform and a beanie in the onboarding kit. Snow totals around 14 inches a year, so office staff can get by with a lined soft shell, while field crews need a proper insulated, waterproof jacket. Around 60 nights a year reach freezing, enough that a lined soft shell or fleece jacket makes a practical year-end gift for staff.
