So it rains 3 of 4 days on average?

It would depress the hell out of me.

I wouldn’t say it rains 3 out of 4 days. I will say that it is often gray/cloudy in the winter; and, it rains more in the winter. Having grown up (as much as I will) in Denver, I always say - - at least I don’t have to shovel rain ;-)

We get teased about rain a lot - - it’s a rumor we spread to keep Californians from moving up here (we’ve been infiltrated by them for many years).

When we went to NY for a wedding several years ago, my stepfather told his sister the average rainfall on Long Island is more than Seattle.

All that said, it does rain here. But the temperatures are fairly mild and the Springs, Summers and Falls are really beautiful!

The 270 days was what a native told me. Here's what comes from usclimatedata.com - Days per year with precipitation: 152 days. So that is 5 out of 12.

What is not counted in there is the days when it "Seattles"; a VERY light mist that looks and feels like rain and goes on all day, but does not get measurable. Pick your expert, pick your statistic.
