How Seattle Compares to Other Areas

Your ZIP 98166 in Seattle, Washington (WA) sits in zone 9a with winter lows around 20 to 25 degrees F. That climate is milder than many other parts of the country, which changes what trees you can plant.

Consider ZIP 23805 in Petersburg, Virginia (VA), which is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 degrees F. That colder zone limits flowering trees like crape myrtles to hardier selections. For your cart, that means you can grow more colorful options like the Thunderstruck Lavender Skies Crape Myrtle without worrying about dieback. Seattle's milder lows let you enjoy a wider range of flowering ornamentals.

Now take ZIP 05772 in Stockbridge, Vermont (VT), zone 5a with lows down to -20 to -15 degrees F. That zone is too cold for most broadleaf evergreens and this crape myrtle. That gap changes the local shortlist to conifers like white pine. In contrast, your Seattle yard can use evergreens like Oakleaf Red Holly for privacy without winter damage. You have more screening choices.

Finally, ZIP 84729 in Glendale, Utah (UT), zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 degrees F, can grow some palms but only the most cold-hardy ones like the Chinese Windmill Palm. In practice, buyers here lean toward palms that survive Utah's dry cold. Your zone 9a in Seattle can grow the Jelly Palm and even the Meyer Lemon Tree with a little frost protection. The warmer winter lows give you more tropical and citrus options.

What does this mean for your cart? Seattle's moderate winters let you focus on shade, privacy, and fruit trees that struggle in colder zones. You can order with confidence that your zone-matched tree will thrive.
