I think you're up in rain country...We have friends up in Washington and Portland, OR....Went to visit the ones in WA a few years ago...In the middle of summer, we could see and smell mold all over and around their home, due to the amount of never ending rain.

We simply like the sun, great year around weather, where we can do things outdoors without being crapped on by the weather all the time....Life is too short... We like golfing in December, BBQ'ing in February while wearing shorts, gardening in November etc....Then with mild summers with little or no humidity, close to beaches and deep sea fishing??

I'll tough it out here thanks!

No, we get 6 inches precipitation per year (arid Columbia Basin). Cascade range stops most rain. No mold here — it won’t grow. There are a few small cactus. High temp 117 while I have been here.

I like California weather and geography also — never said I didn’t.
