What Washington's weather means for creators
Washington gives you two shooting seasons: July peaks at an average high of 90°F and January bottoms out at 45°F, so a summer tee drop and a fall fleece drop can each be filmed in real weather. Average highs of 70°F or more are limited to May to September, so a tee drop shot outdoors has to be planned and filmed inside that window. For a fleece drop that matches the local weather, have product in hand before November, when Washington's average high slips below 65°F. About 14 inches of snow a year means snow on the ground comes and goes, so plan a winter fleece shoot with a flexible date and film it right after a fresh fall. Cold nights are routine, about 60 a year at 32°F or below, so a beanie or crewneck in a bundle is something local fans will actually use.
