Seattle has never seen more than five 90 F days in a row before. With a string starting Tuesday, the city could match that record by Saturday. If the predicted cooling doesn’t quite show up in time, Sunday could bring a new milestone for Seattle’s march into a new era of hotter, more extreme summers.

CHS Pics hit the streets around Capitol Hill to see how the neighborhoods are handling the heat wave and found mostly chill scenes of people — and critters — trying to keep cool.

You can add your scenes and let us know what you’ve seen in the CHS Comments.
