Anyone from the west coast here?

Is there anyone on here from the Vancouver area (or thereabouts) ?
Or, more specifically, Seattle.

I'd just like your thoughts on the weather out there.
I have visited BC off and on over the years, and lived there for a few months back in the 90's.
My memories of my time there are most favorable, and I really don't recall it being that rainy/suicide inducing, but hey, that optimism might have been simply due to my love for the mountains and the trees.

Anyway, what's it like for the long term over there?

I don't live there, but have visited, and know people that have.

It's like everywhere else, has it's good days/weeks/months/years and bad ones. It's basically the opposite of Houston or LA. Where sunshine is 'the norm' with occasional bouts of rain, Vancouver/Portland/Seattle is 'usually' rain, with periods of sun.

Personally? I would LOVE to live in Vancouver, and probably wouldn't mind Seattle.

I might be closest to Vancouver... being in Saskatoon whereas most of the ca.dsm'ers seem to be in TO

*shakes fist in the air* Damn Upper Canadians!

My wife and I were in Seatle a year ago for a short trip. It was a nice town, the ball park and football fields are awesome. I really liked seeing the mountains in the background.

I spent 3 days there and loved it (football game as well!). Mind you it didnt rain once!
awesome place, go check it out

Can't be bad there they have Palm Trees! http://www.pbase.com/47latitude/vancouver
