It only rains twice in Seattle: October to May and June to September.

 What comes after two straight days of rain in Seattle?
 Monday morning.

 What do you call four straight days of rain in Seattle?
 Bumbershoot.

 What do you call two weeks of rain in Seattle?
 Indian Summer.

 What does daylight savings time mean in Seattle?
 An extra hour of rain.

 What's the definition of a Seattle optimist?
 A guy with a sun visor on his rain hat.

 What did the Seattle native say to the Pillsbury Doughboy?
 Nice tan.

 "I can't believe it," said the tourist.  "I've been here an entire week and
 it's done nothing but rain. When do you have summer here?"  "Well,
 that's hard to say," replied the local. "Last year, it was on a Wednesday."

 Meteorological experts predicted a massive flood that would destroy the
 world. The pope went on worldwide TV and said, "This is a punishment
 from God. Prepare to meet your maker."
 The president went on TV and announced, "Our scientists have done all
 they can. The end is near."
 The mayor of Seattle came on and announced, "Due to inclement weather,
 this year's Seafair Parade will be moved to the top of Queen Ann Hill."

 A newcomer to Seattle arrives on a rainy day. He gets up the next day and
 it's raining. It also rains the day after that, and the day after that. He
goes
 out to lunch and sees a young kid and asks out of despair,
 "Hey kid, does it ever stop raining around here?"
 The kid replies, "How should I know?  I'm only six."

 How do the Indians predict the weather in Seattle?
 If you can see Mt. Rainier, it's going to rain. If you can't see Mt.
Rainier,
 it's raining.

I like rain.  I've considered moving up to Washinton simply for that reason.
Petals floating by,

Am looking out the window right now at Seattle from across the sound on Bainbridge Island.  Its going to start raining in a few minutes.  

Of all the places I have lived (IL, FL, NH, MT, CA and Germany) this place is by far the best.  Montana was pretty great too.

I plan on ending up there for good eventually. It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

People in Seattle don't tan, they rust!  ;)

It can rain for weeks here, it can get pretty depressing for people new to the area, and some who have lived here for some time. However, get one day of sunshine, and it's so beautiful here, you forgive the previous weeks of rain.
