Some say you can just make your own sunshine and not complain about the grey skies in Seattle…I say to them…BWAHAHA! I just spent 3 days east of the Pacific rainclouds and the sunshine WAS FANTASTIC! I have come to the conclusion the the Northwest harbors a huge liberal populus and east of the mountains is conservative. It is my belief that for this reason that the westsiders hold onto the rainy side as being so much better than the dry sunny conservative east side.
I cannot understand why anyone would prefer rain to sun most of the year. If the rain and sun switched sides of the mountains, I would never want to move.
As it stands, work and the surrounding water are the major draws.
