Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

35°F to 46°F

Dec – Feb

Mild temperatures but persistent rain and overcast skies define Tacoma winters. A waterproof jacket for your pet and rain gear for yourself are essential for daily walks. Point Defiance Park remains beautiful even in winter, and the forest canopy provides some shelter from rain on trail walks.

Spring

38°F to 60°F

Mar – May

Rain gradually decreases and temperatures warm, bringing the Pacific Northwest to life. The waterfront trails become increasingly pleasant as sunshine returns. Muddy trail conditions persist into April, so plan for post-walk paw cleaning after forest walks.

Summer

52°F to 78°F

Jun – Aug

Dry, sunny days with comfortable temperatures make summer the best season for outdoor pet activities. Point Defiance Park and the waterfront trails are at their absolute best during these months. The cool Puget Sound climate means heat stress is rarely a concern for pets.
