Er...far as I know, Seattle's last frost date is mid to late April. While
it's unlikely you'll get a serious frost now, it's far from impossible.
Additionally, the soil and nighttime temps aren't warm enough to support
squash.

I live north of you in Stanwood, and I don't plant zuchs until the first of
June. Fortunately, they grow fast and really take off then.
