I also live in the Olympic rain shadow and some of that stuff is realtor hype. I have even seen them call it the banana belt, lol.

It’s very true they get much less rain, 16” vs 39”. But the number of sunny days is marginally higher no where close to 300 and it still gets very foggy, suffers from the short winter day light, and is cooler than Seattle.

Around here, we call Mt. Vernon the banana belt because of the weird little convergence zone of Vancouver Island. Always about 10º warmer up there it seems!
