Since my daughter moved to Olympia WA last year and I'm on the U.S.East Coast, when we talk one of the things I ask her about is the weather. I know it's the Temperature Rainforest thing. So she explained that it is not that it rains all the time as much as it's mostly misty during the rainy season except for a short stint during Summer.

I was very surprised when I saw U.S. weather data showing that New York City gets more inches of rainfall each year than Seattle! ...by quite a margin too.
