Get ready for rain buddy. The actual inches that fall on the ground are not that much but for the days that are cold, gray and dark before 4:30pm are more than most other places in the country almost all in fact. When the the rain stops on that first sunny day of spring it feels like you just woke up from a long 6 month nap. Awesome feeling but the nap sucks.
Other than the shitty weather Washington is a really nice place to live. I have lived in south west Washington for 13 years and I hated it at first but now love it. I live right on the Columbia mouth right across the river from Astoria. If you get a chance to vacation next summer and don't have extensive time or money I would suggest Cannon Beach Oregon. It's one of the most beautiful places in the pacNW. In the summer sometimes you would swear you're in Hawaii and not in Oregon. It's nice just to go and spend the night sometimes. That's what a lot of the locals do around here either that or Lincoln City for gambling.
