I need to find the stats but supposedly Seattle has the least annual rainfall of any of the major coastal cities, we just have more rainy days. Most of the time it's just drizzle which is nice to hike or bike in, at least I think so.

yeah, those stats would be good. I think on the whole, western washington has more rainfall, just not where you expect it. hence why we have a rainforest

when was the last time you were in tacoma? comparing tacoma to LA? get a grip man, tacoma is nothing compared to LA. well, not anymore. gratned it used to be, but it has changed. LA is still horrible.

I was last in Tacoma in 2001. At that time, at least, it was STILL a dump. LA's got some bad areas, yes, but it's no worse than Tacoma was last time I was there. It does, however, have the benefit of actually having some SUNLIGHT most of the year.

Sorry, constant rain sucks.

*looks out window* no rain, sun trying to peek through the clouds. yes, i'll admit, we have alot of cloud coverage throughout most of the year. but the rain isn't as bad as everyone says it is. its not hard torrential rain, just some light rain that happens every 5 to 10 minutes or so. then about a 15 minute break, the it starts all over again. its refreshing really. but yes, there are times when it seems like it doens't stop raining. those are times when you throw parties and the like.

I used to LOVE the rain until I moved to Washington I can't stand it now. Gimme sunshine, heat and sweat, just give me LIGHT!!!!!

Now, I DO like to visit Portland and Seattle, I just wouldn't want to live in either place, mostly due to the rain. Even a drizzle annoys me anymore. San Francisco I could live in if it weren't for all the damn commies, heh

Just stay the hell out of Oregon and we'll get along just fine

Easy enough, Oregon is a disgusting dump full of drug addicts, hippies and whackos who have NO RESPECT for private property rights whatsoever.

Frankly they should leave Portland as the sole "state" and fence off the rest to be used as a giant campground.

I hate Oregon and I would *never* move there again. EVER.

Don't hold back man, tell us how you really feel

As I said in another thread, when have I ever come across as shy on these forums?

Jason

Never :shocked:
