Which radars cover Mukilteo?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KATX (Seattle/Tacoma, WA), about 21 miles north-northwest. 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 Mukilteo	View
KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA	21 mi north-northwest	1,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	101 mi west-southwest	9,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRTX Portland, OR	155 mi south-southwest	19,200 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.
