Sh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h!!!!! Now you'll have everybody moving here.
For the record it rains every day. We don't tan, we rust. The state tree is a fungus.
(Jeez, bedolido, what are you trying to do?!!)

Not only that, there are our absolutely gorgeous Seattle winters -- commuting for hours and hours at 5 MPH (when you're moving at all) in the interminable dark rain, never seeing daylight unless you step outside, never seeing the sun for months at a stretch.

And there's the spectacular variety of precipitation to enjoy. Most places just have "rain," but in Seattle we get to enjoy and discern the differences between mist, sprinkle, drip, drizzle, rain, shower, downpour and more, all coming with various combinations of the modifiers "light", "intermittent", "heavy", "times of" and more.

And once a while a "sun-break."

And don't forget the one major snowfall we have every two years or so where nothing moves because nobody knows how to drive on snow.

mist, sprinkle, drip, drizzle, rain, shower, downpour

Don't forget freezing rain and black ice.

Yep. I moved here in 2001. Learned that umbrellas were for sissies. I have a light coat w/a hood and a heavy coat w/a hood. I don't need no stinkin' umbrella.

I was catalog shopping for some coats yesterday (some girls like shoes, I like coats...) and all I could think of was - this will smell when it gets wet, this won't hold up to the rain, this is nice - does it have a hood...

"...we get to enjoy and discern the differences..."

I like "chance of" and "occasional". As in, "Chance of light drizzle in the morning, followed by occasional sun-breaks, with showers likely in time for the afternoon commute."
Variety is the (wet) spice of life.

Seattleites know 300 shades of grey.

Let's face it - we're a good summer place.
