People who aren’t from Seattle just don’t get it. “Why would you ever want to live somewhere with 180 rainy days a year?” Cause we have epic views like this:.

This was the intro to a post on Buzzfeed highlighting some of the best homes in the Seattle area showing off the most amazing views. I was never lucky enough to live in a home with a stunning view, but hi- I was a poor college student so it’s not like anyone expected that anyways. However, I did appreciate my walks to downtown and Capitol Hill, my drives on I-5 into the city from the North, and plenty of rooftop lunches and bbqs. My friends and I used to say that people always mentioned to us that they never wanted to visit Seattle because of how much they thought it rained. Well we typically say back to them, “Fine. Don’t come.” We’ll keep our Seattle summers a secret from you because they are -hands down- the best time of the year!
