When to clean gutters in Donald
The first fall frost comes around November 14 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 16 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Weather and gutters in Donald
NOAA Atlas 14 does not cover Washington and Oregon, so there is no current federal estimate of the short downpour for Donald; NOAA plans published Atlas 15 estimates for the lower 48 states no earlier than September 2027. Here gutters are sized from the roof and the local building department’s design rate.

Half the homes in Donald were built by 2001, 20% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Most houses here are young enough to have their first gutters, so cleanings, guards and small leaks come up more than replacements.
