Seattle your home, I'll let you in on a little secret: It doesn't rain here as much as we let on. In fact, Seattle is ranked 44th in a listing of U.S. cities by rainfall amounts. We receive less rain each year than New York, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia or Washington DC. In Seattle you'll find espresso and fresh seafood, bicycles and boats, computers and airplanes, skyscrapers and parks, professional sports and classical music, competitive business and a laid-back attitude. Residents are drawn into Seattle for living and recreation. Downtown hosts a world-class arts scene, including opera, symphony, ballet and annual theater performances second only to New York City. continued....
