I lived in Bothell the year, 1998, we had 110 days straight of measurable rain, which broke the then record. It stopped for one day and started again for like another 50, to my best recollection....
Man you folks over there must really be getting your monies worth from your fans this year. Are the news stations still doing live reports from the department stores about the shortage of fans. I think they do that story every year for the one "hot" week a year....
Try living over here on real "eastside" of the state and not on the east side of Lake Washington!
And how about 1993? We were house-sitting a friend's house in Kirkland; we couldn't mow the lawn until August because it was perpetually underwater. (We thought about taking a picture in swimsuit, snorkel and lawnmower to send them...) Summer was a bit shorter than usual that year -- two weeks as I recall.
And of course it arrived just in time for the big PNW Highland Games -- heat and changes in humidity are death on bagpipes.
I'm from Moses Lake. I know what you mean. Over there it's not the heat that makes it uncomfortable, it's the wind.
