<BUZZ> False! I was born & raised there.
The average rainfall in the Amazon basin is 80 inches. Seattle receives an unremarkable 38 inches of precipitation a year, which is less precipitation than New York City, Atlanta, Houston and most cities of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States!
Seattle's inaccurate worldwide reputation for rain derives from the fact that it is cloudy an average of 226 days per year (vs. 132 in New York City).
We used to joke that the "rainy city" myth was invented so people wouldnt move there from California. It didnt work.
