I just took this one at random and found that the record for Seattle
on August 15th was 96 degrees F set in 1942. And, I don't think it
was anywhere near 84 last Wednesday. (the high was 73 today)


Hey, I don't make this stuff up:

I'm at a loss to figure out what that is that you're referencing. If
you go to:
http://www.weather.com/weather/clima...m_ite=CityPage

you'll see that the average record high temperature for August in
Seattle is about 93. The hottest ever was in 1981 at 99.
