Izzy,
As far as I know the last irruption that included Seattle was 2012. In December that year I took pictures of the two birds that hung out on Sunset Hill (overlooking Shilshole Marina).
I don't recall if more birds were being seen at the same time in town.
Before that I have pictures of an owl hanging out on a Capitol Hill church in February 1997.
Cheers,

Hi,
Can someone let me know the last time a Snowy made an appearance in Seattle proper?
I remember one in Capitol Hill a few years back and I think 2 or 3 showed up in Ballard some years ago.
Thanks!
