You're joking, but the weather can really be an issue for some people. For me and my family, it's not so much the rain as the appalling lack of sunshine year round and the early nightfall in winter. And the "Seattle Freeze" is not a myth, either.

As a native minnesotan now living in Seattle, I have to say that rumors of bad weather are greatly exaggerated.

I've heard the only place worse than Seattle is Portland. Filled with cannibals.

I think you misspelled "cannabis" ;)

And traffic is the worst - geographically, it's a natural bottleneck. You're fine if you live centrally, but otherwise it's a crapshoot how long it will take to drive anywhere.

I lolled - the Seattle NIMBY defending against hordes of bay area refugees. :)

Having visited both places, I can hardly blame them! And Eugene is even worse - I left half a leg there, and last I saw there was a running gunfight over who'd get the calf meat.
