Review of Seattle, Washington


Weather
Star Rating - 5/15/2008
Yes it is true, while the good days are excellent, the temperatures moderate, but, there are few 'good' days. Perhaps less than 80 or so, that can be called Sunny (not the partial afternoon sun that we are used to and get excited about, but full on sun). Can't hardly grow a tomato with the short summer. :P

One comment on 'bestplaces.com' and their "comfort index". It clearly states "have you ever noticed that nobody complains about the weather being cold and humid" Umm, well, they must never have asked a place that gets cold and humid. :D. Just like a "dry heat", a "wet cold" is quite different. It may never get frigid in Seattle, but 35degF sure feels more like 15degF due to the moisture. Seattle folks complain about the cold at a much higher temp than others, due to the moisture sinking into their bones.

Just a quick .02
