It is unlikely that a hurricane would ever hit Seattle, Washington, but nothing in nature is impossible. The reason it is unlikely is because hurricanes on the west coast typically form off of Mexico or Southern California and the wind direction is typically west, whereas Seattle Washington is north far north of the area in which hurricanes develop in the pacific. As well, in order for a system to gain intensity to the point where it would reach hurricane strenth, it would have to travel over warm water. The only way a hurricane would hit Seattle is if a storm formed in the Pacific Ocean, traveled due west over warm water, and then wind direction shifted from due west to due north, and then shifted to due east. Extremely unlikey.

What is the name of the most famous tornado in Washington state?
Tornadoes do not have names, hurricanes do. No tornadoes in Washington appear to have been bad enough to have any real claim to fame.
Do tornadoes relate to hurricanes?
Not really. Although hurricanes and tornadoes have some notable similarities, they are completely different phenomena. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not a result of hurricanes.
What can hurricanes have?
hurricanes can have tornadoes.
Do tornadoes come before hurricanes?
Generally not, although tornadoes are often produced by landfalling hurricanes, most tornadoes are not associate with hurricanes.
Is a tornado associated with hurricanes?
It is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes at landfall. But most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes and not all hurricanes produce tornadoes.
Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in space?
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
What is the reationship between hurricanes and tornadoes?
It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
Are there hurricanes and tornadoes in the Caribbean and Bahamas?
Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.
Do hurricanes make tornadoes?
Yes. It is fairly common for hurricens to produce tornadoes. However, most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.
