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.

hehe....the Washington State Flower: mildew.
The last field exercise I went on at Ft Lewis my uniform got moldy as I was wearing it. It rained a bit those 2 weeks ;)
-
I like rain. I've considered moving up to Washinton simply for that reason.

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.

hey, your ripping off all my portland jokes
-
Hey Rip What is this Rain you talk about. Might be funny jokes if we got that stuff here. :D

Hey, Rip, remember that year it rained like from late winter all the way to late summer? I think it was back in '98 or '99. Now, I love rain and clouds better than most in Seattle, but that was a bitter pill to swallow. I think within a 4-5 month period we saw a handful of days with some blue sky and the big flashlight ;)
-
Yes I do Leonid! Actually, I'm a closet rain fan! I love rain, you don't have to shovel it! :D
Habicht, lets keep that our little secret, or everyone will be moving here...oh wait, its too late. :)
-
Indn, still have our 4WD and big-ass,red neck pick-em-up truck :D
-
No self respecting redneck would even consider driveing one of the uppity type cars. :D
P.S. Sure glad Im not a redneck.
-
If you consider a BMW an "uppity" car, then you have to consider a Honda or a Toyota an "uppity" car, since they are all in the same price range.
BMW 3 series is only $27k. :)

We have a similar one here in Ulverston in the UK.... if you can see across the (Morecambe) bay, it's going to rain. If you can't see across the bay, it is raining. :)
Some other local sayings concerning the typical English Lake District wet climate are:
How do you tell the difference between summer and winter. In summer the rain goes vertically.
If you don't like the weather, wait a minute.

$27k for a bimmer of the 3 series?
Sheeit. Lemme check what they cost in Denmark. Will take a cheap 318 stationcar as an example.
Let's see. 2000 price: 387 000 DKK. That's...
$52 000.
Man. I am fediddleing EMIGRATING.
I bet I could get a freaking Viper for the price of a low end 2000 BMW stationcar in Denmark, if I move to the US.
Better get back to studies. Must pass this stop or go exam. Must get Viper. Must study. Get degree means getting Viper. Study.
Yesss, my precioussss
