Always looked forward to seeing your forecast and how you present it to us viewers. Best wishes to you and your family in Arizona.
WOW! Just got back into the US from international flight restrictions and just found our THE BEST WEATHER GUY EVER is leaving! We could ALWAYS depend on your forecasts. Better than the weather reports is your outgoing personality! It's been a pleasure to watch you all these years. Maybe will have to watch Phoenix Weather should you get a gig down there! Wishing you the BEST!
Of all the weatherpeople I have watched over the years beginning in 1959, you are the best I have ever seen. And there were some really good ones during that time covering Colorado Springs, Denver, Grand Forks ND, Tucson and San Diego. Your personality, enthusiasm, sense of humor and ability to explain the weather in understandable terms is exceptional. Your dedication to educate the viewers about the how and why of weather events is unusual and enlightening. I’ve never seen any other weatherperson do this in both the technical and layman terms as well as you do. I’m really bummed you’re leaving Seattle but wish you and your family the very best. Thank you for allowing me to watch you do your thing for the last 10 years. You will definitely be missed.
You are the best Walter! You bring fun and such positive vibes. I can't tell you how much I appreciate and respect what you stand for. You will be missed. All the best to you!!
Walter, where will you ski? We'll miss you, The Real Weather Man!
Walter, Thankyou for making my husband and I smile each night! We ALWAYS ran to see your uplifting reports. Every day! We will miss you Walter. God Bless!

Sit up and listen. I would have guessed you were born in the northwest.

Please stay healthy and keep you charismatic optimism. Love you
Its better to love out of reach,
Than to love all the things you can hold.
Its better to follow your heart,
