Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceLake Washington Technical Academy is a school in Kirkland, Washington, part of Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.
Closure decisions for Lake Washington Technical Academy are almost always made at the district level. If Lake Washington Institute of Technology closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Lake Washington Institute of Technology forecast).
Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.
Washington averages about 7 inches of snow per year. Seattle and Puget Sound districts close aggressively — even 1-2 inches causes widespread closures due to steep hills and limited salt reserves.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Lake Washington Institute of Technology before acting on it.
