I live in the Pacific Northwest and I am always disdainful of those who run and hide when a light rain falls.
Personally, I will walk for hours in it.
This is the Pacific Northwest, and rain, along with the forests that grow because of the rain, is what it is famous for.
Former Pac NW guy here. I know the rain and snow. 9 months of the year. It’s abnormal to bitch about the heat and sun when it’s cold, damp, and wet a majority of the year.

And those dam Alder Trees. They may be a great hardwood for fire-wood / furniture making, but don't compete with the beauty of Redwood Cedar & Maple & Fir trees. In my humble opinion.
