The good news is that total precipitation, at least at SeaTac, is above normal, without any significant flooding or landslides in this area.

Mostly light, steady rain spread across many days.

Since January 1st - Almost one inch above normal.

Since October 1st - Almost one inch above normal.

In eastern Washington, do you guys get rain at the lower elevations, or has that dried up, too?

Last I heard, ocean temperatures off the Washington coast are abnormally warm, which has kept us much warmer than usual.

We had just one extended cold spell, with super dry air from Canada, for about 2 weeks, I think in early December.

It's been rainy/drizzly and mild here also but no snow. La Niña pattern?
