Seattle gets considerably less rain than many cities, such as New York; however, Seattle is cloudy a lot more than most cities. This is due to the proximity to both the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains. The moisture-laden air from the Pacific is pushed against the Cascades; as it is forced upward, it expands and cools, and as a result, it can't hold as much water. The water condenses out, and falls as rain.
It could be worse; the Olympic mountains on the Olympic peninsula get the humid air first, and get a LOT more rain than Seattle; the peninsula is home to the only temperate rain forest in the U.S., as a result.

It would not rain anymore in Seattle then different places as much as now as complete rainfall. yet there are a number of extra days of rain in Seattle. which skill it could rain lots at some point in Houston, yet be sunny the different 6 days. whilst in Seattle it is going to drizzle slightly 6 days and be cloudy the seventh. So sure, this is overcast/wet for about 10 months a 300 and sixty 5 days.

I live just across the border in Vancouver, and right after that day where it got really hot/humid (June 3rd to be exact)--it started getting cloudy, then rainy and there have been overcast/rainy weather dominating the skies for the past 2 weeks... But right now here in Vancouver, the sky has cleared around 7pm. Perhaps today is the turning point?

Where have you been? In a shower stall? Here in the Seattle area there has been some gorgeous weather in the past two weeks.
I am tired of people griping about the Seattle rain when it actually rains no more here than on the east coast.

Because it is a marine climate and the Cascade mountains force all the moisture out of the clouds dumping it in Western Washington.

Its just our position compared to the ocean, the geography, etc, but i actually read several places that we are NOT the rainiest (if thats a word) city in the states so i guess i'm glad i'm not in those other places.

its the climate. we get all those storm first of the pacific ocean. also, before the storms go over the mountains, they have to lighten up and dump all that mousiture somewhere. but no worries. summer starts thursday!
