Like others have said, we have a lot of days with rain... but often that means an overcast day with a single hour of rain in it, or a gently falling mist that just hangs in the air which you can barely feel on your skin.

Once you have your standard issue heavy winter hoodie you'll be just fine.

Once you’re settled it’s not so bad. I don’t know what you do for a living, but minimum wage is over $15/hr here and in Seattle it’s even higher.

The problem is lots of people expect to move here without any job prospects or housing lined up, expecting to be able to float for a long time based on the cost of living in Oklahoma or Arkansas or wherever they’re coming from, and that’s unrealistic. But it sounds like you’re doing your due diligence already.

Housing and the cost of living as super high here, but we’d be glad to have you. Expecting lots more red state refugees in the years to come.
