My wife's an executive in the health care industry. She was entertaining an offer with an outfit which would've placed us in Seattle, WA.
Naturally, I was concerned about weather & did a meteorlogical search on the Internet for data concerning Seattle's weather ranking et al...
To my complete surprise I learned in reality, Chicago recieves much more precipitation than does Seattle; the catch being, much of Chicago's precipitation comes in the form of snow & as such isn't measured as "rain" per se.
But being from that area originally I don't care what they call it, it's water. {g}
Interesting, no?

Muddy...I thought everyone knew that little factoid about Seattle.
The Seattlites can blame Hollywierd for their lousy, soggy reputation, too.

In any event my bride's in the same business -- as you know -- & I did the same preliminary scouting when once she was being courted by an organization *in* Seattle.

My search -- & her career opportunity -- ceased (post haste) when I took ONE look at the cost of housing in that neck of the country.
The people in the pacific northwest -- on the coast anyway -- are delusional.

IF your bride's interested in exploring career opportunities, we should talk.
