Winter travel clinic: If you are new to Washington weather you will be sure to complain about the amount of rain we get through the winter months. This is normal but i would like to give you some perspective. if you are a fan of water sports and or snow sports, you should embrace the rain. rain in the valley is usually snow in the mountains. A heavy snowpack in the mountains will bring us large river flows in the spring and summer months.
