How hot did it get during the last heat wave?

Seattle, along with many other cities, hit 90 or warmer on three consecutive days between Thursday and Saturday, although the coast and north interior lucked out a bit as an unexpected seabreeze kept temperatures down there a bit.
The three straight days of 90 in Seattle was only the 13th time in Sea-Tac history we had a streak of three days at or over 90. The record is 5 days set August 7-11 in 1981. There were five instances of a four-day streak, and six other instances of a three-day streak aside from last week.
For those who have had their fill of the summer heat, we have good news. Saturday was the 167th time in Sea-Tac history it has hit 90 degrees, but only 17 of those dates have occurred after August 16th.
Here is the chart for high temperatures from the heat wave:
