[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are doing a tour of Pacific Northwest schools and I keep thinking I missed out! Schools are beautiful, weather is great, food is delicious, and generally friendly campus visits. I wish I had left the East Coast for college.[/quote]

weather isn't "great".[/quote]

I'd take "grey and a bit dreary in the 40-50s" over 10-20, grey and snowy/icy

This is how most of us out here see it. Plus, we have beautiful changing views of water and mountains and lakes at every turn so it's not just flat land and gray skies. I scrape my car windshield maybe 1x/year at most. And if I drive an hour, I'm skiing in the mountains and get all the snow I want. Then I return to weather in the 40s-50s, no winter boots ever, and a light puffy coat and get on with my work week.[/quote]

I get it.  Been here for a decade + and love it!   The east side is drearier (go east of 405---Issaquah/Snoqualmie) but beautiful!  I used to watch the weather change every 15 mins during the winter months (as in: I can see everything to I can't see the trees in my backyard and then back to clear).  But in seattle itself, it's much more sun.  And 30-40 min drive to snow/skiing if that is your thing.
