Here's the forecast for the next 10 days in the Seattle area.
Some of you have mentioned you've been checking the weather in Seattle. You might be wondering if we're growing moss or have sprouted web feet yet!
According to local meteorologists, this has been a wet spring even for Seattle. The frequent rain and gray days have produced increased traffic at travel agencies, tanning salons, acupuncture and other services that relieve depression. We haven't been affected. We were told it rains a lot here in the spring - and it has. It's really not as grim as the forecasts would make you think.
In our month here we've noticed that most of the rainy days are really days with sprinkles off and on sometime during the day. We've seen very few days in which it rained hard even part of the day.
Our townhouse has so many windows that even the gray, drizzly days aren't dismal.
So - when you see this kind of forecast, don't feel too sorry for us. We're probably out and about, enjoying this beautiful area.

PS - Most people don't bother with umbrellas. Several natives told us an umbrella is the sign of an out-of-towner. I am glad that most of my coats and jackets have hoods.
PPS - We are looking forward to experiencing the sunny, temperate spring, summer and fall days during which the whole area "sparkles," as many locals describe it.
