[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Western Washington. You visited the PNW in the summer, OP. Summers there are great. But where I grew up we have 250 days of rain per year. We had a rain guage in our town that measured more than six feet of rain per year, and nobody blinked an eye. Come May, the whole country is sunny -- except for western Washington and western Oregon. I was used to the weather, but my spouse, the native Californian, suffered from the short, dark, gray winter days when we were in grad school together. I haven't lived in the PNW for three decades, and even for me having been born and raised there, it would be a struggle to deal with the weather nine months of the year. I'm not used to that much rain anymore. So just be aware that you saw it at the high season.[/quote]

That is NOT normal "western Washington". Seattle averages 40" per year.  Even the Eastside closer to the mountains (think Issaquah) averages 60".  So you can avoid that much rainfall by moving away from the farther out Eastside.  Bellevue averages 35"

But get your self a "SAD light" or as I call it "happy light" and use it for 10-20 mins each morning with your coffee.  It does wonders
