Sorry for your loss.

Didn’t last year have a westerly QBO as well tho?

Whatcom county is an underrated dawg for interesting weather. It's one of the three main westside corridors where continental clashes with oceanic (Fraser, Snoqualmie, Columbia). You also have an understated thunderstorm belt in Sudden Valley. @Port Angeles Foothiller's area is interesting too. One of two locations along the west coast of the US that can get sea/lake effect snow. The other being Lake Tahoe. When Fraser outlow tracks across the Sound it picks up moisture then slams into the Olympics, rising a vertical mile. Milder summers than the interior, yet not as cloudy as the coast, year-round. It's like having your cake and eating it too, compared to much of the westside.

71/56 here today with 0.03” of rain. Maybe a little more the next 24 hours. Models seem to be continuing to trend towards a wetter solution for Wednesday.

62F and partly cloudy tonight. Really glad we've been able to avoid excessive heat as much this summer.
