Actually, is one of our better-kept secrets. It just SEEMS that we have rain all the time, but we don't really. In annual rainfall, we have less than a lot of other places, but we have a little lots of times rather than one or two huge down-pours. We have enough to keep the place pretty green and keep the pollens down in the spring and summer.

Back in the day, we had a local newspaper columnist, Emmett Watson (google him -- he was an interesting character), who developed the idea of "Lesser Seattle". It was he who suggested that we keep secret the real story of rain in this area in order to KBO (Keep the Bastards Out)(his term) and keep the Seattle area from over-developing. It didn't work very well.

and came up with a website www.whatIfoundout.com that said:

"Seattle doesn’t really get that much rain compared to most U.S. cities. In fact, Seattle ranks 44th among major U.S. cities in average annual rainfall, getting approximately 38 inches annually. Cities that get more rainfall than Seattle include such as Houston Texas (48 inches), New Orleans (60 inches), Mobile AL (65 inches), Memphis (52 inches), Nashville (48 inches), and pretty much every major city on the eastern seaboard, such as New York (43 inches), Philadelphia (41 inches), Miami (58 inches), and Boston (44 inches)."

Shhhhhh -- it's a secret!

It will be be hot this weekend, but since summer will hopefully be a whole month shorter than usual, I can probably make it.
