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.

We refer to it as "the dismals".
It rains more in Oregon than in Washington, too. But in Washington it's just always gray. Here you're more likely to get a downpour. When I moved here, I was amazed that the rain actually poured on a normal everyday rainy day. I'd never seen that before except during bad storms!
Lately, though, it's been sunny and about 65. We're enjoying it while we can, storing up sun for the winter months.
