Seattle is currently experiencing a dense fog that has significantly reduced visibility across the city, including at the iconic Space Needle. This weather phenomenon, typical for the region during this time of year, results from the interaction of moist air from the Pacific Ocean with cooler inland temperatures.

Local meteorological reports indicate visibility has dropped to less than a quarter-mile in some areas.
