Weather in Seattle

What are the seasons like in Seattle? How do Seattle dwellers cope?

Seasons? We have two: 1. the dominant one, which is characterized by an impermeable leaky gray cloud hovering over the horizon; 2. the second, which is really only a short reprieve from the first, typically lasts from July to August. Everyone will say the shortness of our summers just makes them enjoy them evene more, but they're obviously full of crap.

I cope by stalking out dry indoor places like gyms and libraries. But I also know those for whom a steady stream of alcohol infused directly into the bloodstream by IV from the months of September to June is an effective alternative. Of course, you'll entirely miss summer as you recover from the worst hangover of your life.

The weather is NOT predictable. If you want winter, drive east and go up til you get to snow. It will take you longer in summer. Deal with the rain like everyone else: buy a good rain hat, buy a lot of lights, go outside and ignore it. Coffee helps and so does visiting sunshine.

Come on, Seattle weather is 100% predictable. Summer starts on the 5th of July. It will be a nice day. The 4th is a flip of a coin.

Winter creeps in on us by October 31, otherwise kids would not have to wear raincoats on Halloween. And we would not want to rake dry leaves from our yards. And it rains pretty steady until July 5th. The months of February and May are pretty nice, December and January are the most dreary.

On the Winter Solstice we get about 8 hours of sun. If you don't have a window seat, you miss out. But on the summer solstice, we get 16 hours of sun. Nice summer twilight, it can be light after 9 pm.

I live in Fargo, ND and it is depressing, boring, and there is nothing to do, its crazy how Fargo is so close to the beautiful state of Minnesota and yet is so different. Anyways, I am searching for a place to live and I am wondering if Seattle, WA is a good place? Can someone tell me if it is rainy and depressing like Portlant or is it any better? Sunnier? Is it a nice place to live?

Seattle is pretty, but if you don't like rain don't move here. Traffic is horrendous, it has gotten worse in the last few years. The people are rude and I swear don't know how to drive! All we need is more people moving in here, it is already crowded enough with a bunch of idiots.
