More Rain

A petite rain storm is passing through Western Washington this Labor Day weekend.  Bellingham got no rain today.  Hoquiam got 1.25”.  Seattle got .3 inches.  With a couple of rainy days in August, it was not close to the 30-40 days of no rain that we often get.  Even so, we had a all-time record largest forest fire in Washington State this summer.

Many of us Seattlites are a bit schizophrenic about the rain.  We don’t really like the rain, but we do enjoy the beauty of Evergreen State and having a copious supplies of clean mineral-free potable water.

I am grateful for the summer rains that cool us off, protect us from droughts and make it beautiful.
