Seems like they've always been kind of boom/bust. Basically nothing in 2010/2011, 4-8" in late March 2012, nothing in 2012/2013. Then 7" of snow on the ground for over a week with a 19/-10 day in December 2013 and a good 8" snowstorm on February 2014. Nothing in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. Decent amount of snow in 2016/2017 (around 9" I think?). Barely anything next winter. Huge 20" snowstorm in Feb 2019, nothing in 2020/2021 and then a 10" wet snowstorm in 2021/2022. Something that surprised me was the Eugene's highest snow depth is also higher than Portland's or Seattle's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you can find pricier Seattle suburbs, but the statement was "why doesn't everyone live there." Affordability is a big issue for a lot of people. Harsh realities dictate terms for many. My top area is still the Winthrop/Twisp/Carlton area! Or NE Wa. Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.
