I'd gladly bike in the rain if there was better infrastructure to South Seattle. Sharing a lane the entire way to downtown though? No thanks.

Bike fenders are not allowed in Seattle, since they weigh too much. So in the rain you get to enjoy the mud stripe up your back. And the brakes don't work when wet, either, which is fun on the hills.
