Not Alaska!!
I live about 40 miles south of Seattle. And, yes, it sure is cold for August. It's not unusual for the nights to cool off, but it usually doesn't fall below the mid 50s. Plus, the days are usually warm enough so the house gets warm enough during the day to still be comfortable the next morning without wishing the furnace could kick on. If I don't freeze to death between now and then, it is supposed to start warming up again by Wednesday. It'll be really pleasant for at least another week, assuming the forecast is right.
It's actually warmer in Fairbanks right now than it is at my house.
