Today marks the shortest day of the year, with lots of ancient traditions. The sun will rise around 7:55 a.m. and set around 4:20 p.m. on Dec. 21, giving Seattleites just a precious 8 hours, 25 minutes and 25 seconds of daylight to enjoy on winter solstice.

But…it also means every day is now getting longer and we are on our way to summer!
