Which radars cover La Conner?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KATX (Seattle/Tacoma, WA), about 14 miles south. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over La Conner	View
KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA	14 mi south	700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	116 mi southwest	12,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KRTX Portland, OR	186 mi south	26,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
