What they're saying:

"I’m a Seattle person. I don’t like when it’s over 70," said Brenda Muir. "Too hot, it’s too hot. That’s why we’re here."

Muir took her two children to Willis D. Tucker Community Park in Snohomish.

The park features a splash pad where dozens of kids spent the day cooling off.

"The kids love anything that’s water-based. They love playing," said Casey Kellogg who took his children to the splash pad as well.

Tuesday’s temperatures are expected to be even higher than Monday.
