Seattle in June
First, I want to mention again that I moved to the beautiful pacific northwest for two reasons; the second one is that you can see the seasons here (as opposed to sunny FLA).
Now it is June in Seattle.
It snowed last week in the passes...that would be the mountains.
As it so happens, the pass is actually only about 30 minutes from the densely populated city.
If this doesn't sound very significant to you, it actually snowed heavily (and stuck) in late April as well in the city, on the very low elevations in the city, on the lake in the city, on my balcony in fact.
It is June in Seattle.
You would think it would finally be warm.
You would think that it would be mostly sunny with scattered clouds.
It is June 17th. Our poor poor weather people.
It is CLOUDY today, high of 60. No chance of sun breaks.
Realistically, it's a beautiful day with a very light drizzle. Think cold sauna.
Yesterday was gorgeous! High of 70, sunny all day, no rain, no clouds, all the mountains out in full view.
I have met several people who have also recently moved from FLA. They get depressed by all the gray.
I think it is beautiful.
Yes, after a year in this city, I still think it is beautiful.
There is something awe inspiring about driving down the highway and being surprised by the gigantic volcano towering right in front of view where it was only clouds the week before.
I have not really seen all the seasons this year. Well there was a VERY long winter (November to April) with sparse hints of spring for one or two weekends. There was a very beautiful autumn and hopefully next week the summer will stick around.
I don't care. The dark depressing winter of the pacific northwest is beautiful to me and all the seattleites who complain about it need to try living in constant sun with scattered tropical storms for a decade or more.
