I spent the last week in Seattle (actually Everett) working and can say I have avoided rain in my last 6 trips there on business. Went on a sailboat ride last Thursday and couldnt have asked for a better evening and night out on the water.

For all those in Seattle, great place. If I expand my busines, I could end up there at some point. But in the mean time, I cant complain about where you can find the best whisky, beer, and wine in the US-Good 'ol Utah

Shhhhh....don't tell anybody! We want to keep this illusion of crappy weather all the time! Summers are great here but early falls, long winters and a longer spring can be a bit much. WE are usualy rainy through the 4th of July. Very nice and really too hot for us....

Cheers

The seceret is out, too late.

Salt Lake City is just the opposite-no rain at all. Well, not no rain but far and few between showers during the summer. Really hot here now but just a short drive (15-20 minutes and Im there from my house) and up at Snowbird and Alta or Brighton and Solitude-great drives and nice reduction from the heat.

Yea, not my top choices of places to stay but I was sponsoring a show at University Centers at Everett Station so planted there. But I did get out on the water and sailed on a very nice 42' sail boat and that made up for staying in Everett for a few days. Cruisded past Huskies stadium, Gates house, and drank and chilled with Seattle in the background to around 11pm.

... wait a second. It sounds like your arrival means that its going to be sunny. Please, visit more often!

Everett is sketchy at best... but you're that much closer to Vancouver!

Seattle? Nice place to visit from July 15th through early September. Other than that, be certain to have plenty of mold and mildew remover for the inside of your garage doors, etc. And by keeping at it with the mold and mildew remover, you can keep the mold from forming on you! I lived there for 14+ years, with 'natives" telling me "you will get used to it after a few years"....never happened. Then....the masses came in. I do miss my place in the Teanaway Valley (3/4 of the State has sun.....Go East Young Man). Speaking of smelly, how is The Tacoma Aroma??? Or, is it gone these days?

(How am I doing with my population control help guys?).

Perfect, Bull....thanks...we hate it here!

I think the east coast has taken up the national allotment of rain...

Here is the view from my home office this morning... don't let the sun fool you- I am a tech guy and photoshopped out the rain! LOL

I'll take a little exception to that (unless you're just being tongue in cheek ). Not that the Wasatch beers aren't good ("you can't have just one"), but you must not have had the right beers up here. Mac & Jack's, Pyramid hefeweizen, Manny's... And last time I checked, it's not like Utah has a burgeoning wine industry. I'll get off my Washington fanboy soapbox now...

If you're in Everett again, give me a shout, I'm just south of there. I've got some excellent homebrew and a great view of Puget Sound waiting!

Bull

Nice photochop! If you are where I think you are, I would be looking back at you from the South end of Mercer Island on the water when I lived there......that is when I could see that far through all of the fog and rain, slugs and such!

Bob, actually, I am North in Lake Forest Park at the "quiet" end of the lake. I get to watch the Kenmore Air planes take off all day. The pic is actually facing south-southest with Arrowhead Point in the center and Sandpoint in the far background.

Ah, got it.....I have been gone too long. Brings back memories of Sandpoint Naval Air Station years ago, when I learned that sideswiping the sentry shack when pulling up to relinguish your pass when exiting, so that the sentry can't get out the door, causes a big problem back in those days. Hey it was a long night, and those damn Austin-Healeys have rather loose steering.........

I see you know Polygamy Porter? What a classic beer for Utah! Little to dark for me but Chasing Tail and St. Provo Girl arent too bad.

Probably be up in the Seattle area in the next couple of months but been traveling for fun and work the past 3 weeks so Im staying put for a bit. Heading to Tahoe (Incline Villiage) in a few weeks for a wedding and chill time. Actually bought my C4 and 77 Bronco in Incline.

When Im up there next time, I will drop a line.

It really stays awful most the time here . Standard image submitted.
