Other than 9 months of grey skies and drizzling rain, it is perfect. However, a short 2 to 3 hour drive eastward brings you into brilliant sunshine 300 days per year. I've chosen to live in the east half of the state. :-)

I would argue that the rain is a perk, and not a negative. But there are some that love the rain, some that live with it.

Washington is a beautiful state, the east side is a lot drier if you prefer less rain.

Lots of opportunities and 20minutes from Seattle takes you into the Mountains to get lost.
