i must say, the weather here, is worse than washington by a long shot.
but again, have you been there? i lived there for 5 years.
mid/upper 70s in the summer, minimal rain, low humidity, no mosquitos and where i lived winter didnt see much snow, a few inches all year if that. but if you wanted snow, you could drive a little over an hour east and be at Mt. Baker, or driver 3 hours south and be at Stevens Pass or 2 hours north and be at Whistler in Vancouver BC…
Seattles weather is normally mid 80s in the summer months,
limited snow, and more bearable temperatures in the winter, upper 30s, low 40s vs NYs sub zero frozen death
