Rain here is "different" than other places. In summer it helps keep us nice and cool, in the winter it means we're going to be a bit warmer. We get the most rain during "The Long Dark" from end of Fall till beginning of Spring. Honestly, in my opinion, getting used to the long dark season of Seattle is the make or break point more than the rain for most people.
Other than the dark season, the rain here is usually light enough that it's not a big impedance or problem. Umbrellas are a bigger hassle than just dealing with a little moisture 9 times out of 10. There's a running joke about Seattleites refusing to use umbrellas or being able to identify tourists because they're using one lol
