Seattle weather: Pockets of lowland snow, wintry mix overnight
SEATTLE – Snow continues to fall overnight in the passes. The convergence zone will remain active with higher totals along Stevens and Snoqualmie Pass. Snow accumulations may range between 6-12″. Road conditions are changing quickly, so be sure to monitor pass conditions before heading out.
Moderate to heavy snow with totals 6-12″.
A push of colder air moves into western Washington Friday night. While some moisture is still left, there is a possibility of pockets of lowland snow and a wintry mix. As of Friday evening, we’ve gotten a few reports of 1-2 inches of snow accumulation from around Sultan eastward along the US 2 corridor, with higher amounts east of Gold Bar and closer to Index. The snow accumulations at the lower elevations in this stretch have been driven by the precipitation rates as the convergence zone moves through. Closer to the I-5 corridor, it was mostly just rain with some snow mixed in.
Rain and snow falling around the region with a chance of lowland snow in the foothills.
The Fraser outflow will ramp up tonight, pushing in cold air into western Whatcom County. A Cold Weather Advisory will go into effect from around 1 a.m. to noon on Saturday with wind chill readings between 12–20 degrees. Please be sure to protect your pets and people as this cold can be dangerous.
Cold air spills into Whatcom County tonight with wind chills in the teens.
Friday night will be one of the colder nights we have seen so far this winter. Temperatures will be near freezing. Be sure to watch for some icy spots by Saturday morning on bridges and overpasses.

SEATTLE, Wash. – There were at least 200 protesters that showed up in Seattle Wednesday night in what speakers called an “emergency protest” in response to the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis Wednesday.
“We want justice, we want peace, we want justice, we want peace, we want ICE off our streets, we want ice off our streets…” they chanted.

After listening to speakers, protesters went on the march and circled the blocks near the Federal Building in Seattle.
Though the protest was organized on short notice, some protesters say they were compelled to come out Wednesday with urgency because they felt what happened in Minneapolis was a bridge too far.
What they’re saying:
“ICE has gone too far. We’ve felt this, we’ve known this for a long time. There have been people protesting,” said Raleigh Watts, protesting the ICE shooting. “We’ve been hearing the news. Today I came out because when I heard, it was my sign that a line has been crossed that I can’t stand anymore. So, I’ve come to say, ‘No ICE, you’ve gone too far’.”
“A lot of people out here are really, really angry, confused and sad, but I think we have what it takes to fight back,” said Sophia Van Beek, protesting the MN ICE shooting. “I’m certain there are going to be actions.”
Sophia says in order to make a difference, protesters need to create an actionable political program.

Members of law enforcement were in the area and helped to block off the streets during the protest and march. There were no clashes during this protest and it wrapped up at around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
“I am proud of all the hundreds of people who have turned out tonight at the federal building in Seattle. I’m proud of the people who are in Tacoma that are protesting at the ice detention center and in Minneapolis and in cities across the country. This is not okay for ICE to kill somebody,” said Watts.
What’s next:
Some people at Wednesday’s demonstration said they were planning to organize more protests in the coming weeks.

SEATTLE — Seattle activists are rallying to demand justice on Wednesday following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis.
The Seattle Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (SAARPR) and Seattle Against War (SAW) have organized an emergency press conference to protest the incident.
The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle.
Woman killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis; Mayor tells ICE to ‘get the f***’ out
The shooting occurred on Wednesday morning at the corner of 34th and Portland Avenue in Minneapolis. According to preliminary information, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, the woman was sitting in her vehicle blocking the roadway when a federal law enforcement officer approached on foot. When the vehicle began to drive away, at least two shots were fired, and the vehicle crashed on the side of the road.
In response, emergency protests have erupted in Minneapolis and are expected to continue through Jan. 11.
The Seattle groups are joining the Legalization 4 All Network in calling for an immediate end to ICE raids and mass deportations.
They are also demanding justice and accountability for the woman who was killed, including the release of the name of the ICE agent involved and the names of all agents participating in such operations.
