On day three of living in Bellevue I shared 10 things I learned in my short time on the west coast. Then a couple of days ago I shared my frustrations with pacific time.
Many say regret is a feeling deep inside of you, one that can be tough to express. Nope, in this case it’s on the screen of my iPhone.
Florida, I’m sorry I left you! Take me back and I’ll never leave you again!

There also used to be a "Lesser Seattle Chamber of Commerce" -- that was dedicated to keep Seattle SMALL! (Well, smaller...)
"just seems convenient to bitch about the weather" And so it is.... especially in front of tourists and visitors! It's also the case that: if you wait for good weather, you'll never do anything! Golfing in the drizzle (usually called "Oregon Mist"), hiking, fishing -- whatever outdoor thing you wish -- IS done without really considering the weather (other than mountain-gear/clothing if that's your thing! Don't get caught 'up' and freeze to death!) (And whoever suggested an umbrella?! Must be an out-of-stater!! No Washingtonian / Oregonian carries an umbrella -- it never rains hard enough to need one!) A good bumper sticker (mental concept towards tourists and Californians) to keep in mind: Welcome to Washington! Now GO HOME!
I've lived in Bellevue (Eastside Area of Washington) my whole life. You honestly get use to the rain/cloudy weather, if you stay active. Running/Hiking/Biking in Summer OR Skiing/Snowboarding in Winter. Plus, once summer hits (our true summer is 7/5 - 10/1), you will be truly thankful you live here. Now sit back, relax and get use to seeing rain for the next 6 months :)
I find Seattle fascinating but deeply depressing at the same time. I have never been able to understand that feeling. Something about that area of the world. And this includes Vancouver.
