I can't imagine that helps.

NYC New Orleans (about any major city in LA, actually) Houston Atlanta Miami Tallahassee Wash, DC Most of the Eastern Seaboard In fact, Olympia is the rainiest city in Washington, far rainier than Seattle, and it's only the 24th rainiest city in the country. If you don't count the winter (which I think is fair, as when it's raining in Seattle in the winter, it's snowing everywhere else), Seattle's actually among the drier places in the country. |

I have been to Seattle several times.....been out to the San Juans/Orcas Island, explored the City, headed out towards Ranier, stayed with friends/family in Kirkland, Bellevue, and Linwood. Been to the temple, Mariners game, and 2 UW/BYU games.
This time around, we checked out an old bookstore, bought leather belts, went to the sculpture garden, took pics atop the Space Needle, caught a laser show, explored the Wallingford and U Districts, as well as Madison Park, and ate, ate, ate. These places have a great SF vibe to them, but could also be a mini-NYC or Chicago, as well. Every time I go, I love it, raining or no. Seattle is beautiful. I guess I don't notice the lack of color or hygeine. I am too busy digging the scene and the views. This time around, we experienced some great food tourism and ate at some very good spots. I ate a lot from Friday to Sunday, but the elevated caloric intake was worth it to me. The near perfect weather this weekend only added to the fantastic experience. Viva Seattle.

West WA's rain is spread out over months and months. Constant drizzle. Whereas in these other cities, it rains hard for an evening, and then it is done. |

If you lived 4+ years in Norman, OK, you could really live anywhere.

The last time I was in Seattle I was only there for a few days, but the clouds started to get to me. It's also really dry, and I that was kind of driving me batty too. I felt like I was back in Utah.
