The warnings issued in advance by many meteorologists called for lightning (we got that and thunder) heavy rain (to be honest it did rain heavily for a little while) but the most dramatic prediction was for everything from quarter size to two inch size hail. 

Broadcast outlets talked about how hail is formed. Car dealers were interviewed about facing potential large scale damage. People were told to stay indoors. Winds were predicted to be as high as 58 mph.

Acting on that prediction people across the area sought protection for vehicles, seeking garage storage, blankets, car covers, put away all loose objects and then we waited. 

The lightning showed and yes a bit of hail did fall south of Seattle and possibly elsewhere. It was a bit breezy. But no huge gusts in Seattle. So it looks like we collectively dodged a hailstorm. There was a power outage south of White Center for 150 people expected to be fixed relatively soon.

The thunderstorm watch was in effect till 11pm

But seeing giant hail would have been interesting at least.
