I turned a quarter century a couple months ago
In all seriousness though do you actually seriously consider living somewhere else? The cascade foothills can really be rain and gloom magnets as you well know.
Nah... not a daily basis. There are many days when it's just as sunny out here. Not today of course and that is more common in the spring. Sometimes it's more sunny out here... particularly in summer when the marine layer doesn't make it out here and in offshore events in the winter.
Lived here for almost a quarter of century. Longer than you have been alive.
I mean it wasn’t a serious or confrontational comment but you wouldn’t enjoy somewhere that maybe cleared out and wasn’t so gloomy? I work up in your area all the time and the difference in weather between here and the foothills is noticeable on a daily basis.
