Despite our misty reputation, Seattle's annual rainfall is less than that of New York, Atlanta, or Boston. But bring along your umbrella anyway.
The rain does have its bright side. It keeps temperatures mild, never too cold or too hot, and helps make the Puget Sound area a verdant landscape year-round. That's why we call Washington the “Evergreen State.” And when it rains in the city, it's probably snowing in the mountains, laying down good powder for skiing, snowboarding, and sledding, or just creating breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks.
Seattleites don't mind the weather. Events are rarely canceled because of rain. We just tuck umbrellas in our backpacks or flip up the hoods of our rain jackets. We even honor the rain by naming one of our music festivals a 19th century American term for umbrella.
