Reply to comment by Faroutman1234 in I might possibly relocate to Washington State due to a job offer in Port Orchard. by westmaxia

When I moved here I braced for this 6 months of rain I would hear about. However, I have found over 3 years, there are always sunny days/part of days. I just learned to appreciate the breaks more and told myself you don't have to shovel rain! I did find it a little tough last year how long it took for spring/summer to show up, though.

Yep that’s the thing about Western Washington. There is rain most days but it doesn’t rain all day. You can always find breaks

We have had several years here where we really didn’t get summer at all, maybe a couple weeks of sunny weather. However, in the past 15 years, summer has been better and longer than ever, and hotter. Climate change is going to make Washington one of the better states to live in long term. As long as Rainier doesn’t blow!

Family lived in Silverdale, and they went to Seattle when they wanted some sunshine, lol.
