Good news I 'd say though is that when (if?) it stops raining - it can be one of the prettiest places to live in the country.
Lots of green trees, the mountains, rivers full of water and like that .... but even things that don't move very much take on a green-ish coloration from the moss and mold that seems to grows where ever its wet and shady.
I hear that it is a real nice place to live. Had considred moving that direction in the future. Those of you that live there would you recommend it as a place to buy a house and settle down?
We have covinced the country it rains to much to keep them all from moving here. Truth is it rains more in Houston and Atlanta then it does here. It just stays pretty misty through the winter. Overall there is not a greater place to live in the US. (I'm from Michigan originally).
Yeah - it may (and probably does) rain more in terms of inches of rain in other places than in the Portland/Vancouver area - but there, it rains and gets it over with.
In Portland/Vancouver - the rain (you call it "misty" all you want to) is pretty much 24/7 from late Fall to early Summer!
No matter what you call it - rain, mist, drizzle (take your pick), it's so wet that mold and moss starts growing on most anything that is slow moving.
Running "joke" is that it always rain for Portland's Rose Festival - which is in early June!
But as I said before - when the rain FINALLY stops - it's one of the prettiest places to live - at least until the rain starts again.
