Yes, for 6 months of the year, it does rain alot in Portland. However, the rest of the 6 months are equally as dry.

A dog and a pint (or more) at The Lucky Labrador... sounds like a time to me!

Who cares about a little rain? Besides, It just drizzles most of the time. We don't call that rain in Portland. It keeps the trees green and the air clean and fresh, unlike L A.

Hey, I just moved here, and I LOVE it! The Portland area is gorgeous, and I don't mind a little rain . . . it's certainly a vast improvement over the 6 months of snow Ijust escaped from in Utah!


Quite frankly, I think Oregon/Portland's reputation for rain is worse than the reality . . . I've been checking out actual rainfall throughout the year for almost 2 years now, and I findit to be quite bearable (NOT a big deal). I was quite surprised at all the people who warned me upon learning I was moving here that 'itrains a lot in Portland', and 'you'll never see the sun'. I really think the perceptionof that kind of weather is far worse than reality. So far, totaling all the time I've spent here (visiting before, and now living here), I've seen the sun just about every day, and the rain hasn't been that bad at all.


The quality of the air and water here far surpass what I just left, and the temperatures are quite comfortable as well. I'll shut up now . . . I don't want everyone to start moving here.
