Seattle averages only 58 clear days a year, with most of those days occurring between June and September

Seattle (Western Washington for that matter) :

Was Kurt Kobain from Seattle?

Yes he died in Seattle, he was from Aberdeen, Washington, about 120 miles southwest of Seattle, kind of a run down town about 1/2 hour from the coast.

Jimi Hendrix was

That is correct, other notable Seattle artists/groups: Heart, Queensryche, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, SoundGarden and Presidents of the United States of America are the biggest I can think of at the moment.

And arent Boeing planes built there?

Yes.

doesn't it rain 9 months of the year there?

No. I Just look up the average days of measurable rain per year over the last 50 years. It is 150, that leaves 200+ with no rain. Although the last few summers have been a bit weak, normally from late April/early May through late September/Early October, you can expect partly, mostly or completely sunny skies, with temperatures in the 60's to 90's F (~upper teens to mid 30's C) . http://www.met.utah.edu/jhorel/html/wx/climate/daysrain.html is the rain list I referenced, lists average rainfall per month also.

Seattle averages only 58 clear days a year, with most of those days occurring between June and September.

Although likely true that is very misleading. That would be 58 days with completely clear skies. There are a lot more partly or mostly sunny.

Hopefully the ski areas will be open by then. Some times they open for our "Thanksgiving" holiday in late Nov. and then close until Xmas time, but if we have snow anything like last year, it will be open then.

If there is no skiing in Heaven, I am staying here....

don't know about Seattle but it certainly seems to overhere :cry:
I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!
