UPDATE: Seattle schools are also closing two hours early today.
Seattle Public Schools have announced they will have a two-hour delay Tuesday morning, January 17, because of a winter weather advisory issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). And, all pre-school activities, including preschool and Head Start are cancelled.
From Seattle Public Schools:
Buses will be operating on snow routes tomorrow, which means that yellow buses only run on roads maintained by the City that receive snow removal. Students who ride buses received notice of snow routes in the mail during the week of Nov. 21.

“During winter weather conditions, safety is our top priority,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Susan Enfield. “We want to make sure all of our students are safe, and that means delaying the start of school on Tuesday.”
Families are being notified by an automated call tonight. Families are also advised to continue monitoring weather tomorrow morning and this week, as winter weather conditions may cause changes to school schedules.
Families can learn if there is a school delay or closure through:
* local TV and radio stations
* the District website at www.seattleschools.org <http://www.seattleschools.org/>
* an automated phone call
