I live in Seattle. Yup, it rains here all the time. Sprained my ankle once from slipping on algae growing on a wet sidewalk. My old Subaru had moss growing on it, never came off even when I drove on the freeway.

The best time to buy a house here is Jan/Feb, when the new folks get sick of the rain (no sun since October) and sell fast so they can leave. I grew up here and actually like the rain and gray skies. To each her own...

Oh, and Seattle has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the nation. Cuz we're all on the pale side regardless of ethnicity, then when it's sunny we all go outside and get sunburned. And we have the highest per capita ownership of sunglasses. (I bet you can figure that one out.)
