Seattle is the cloudiest major city in the lower 48, according to the Seattle Times, with 226 cloudy days per year. It is not by any stretch the rainiest, though. Inches of rain, in the high 30s, is very close to Wash. DC (where I lived for 23 years), and is not that much compared to Central Park's 50 inches/year. But Seattle rain comes down as drizzle much of the time, whereas it often pours in DC.
And they also get a lot of cloudiness and rain from the Gulf Stream.
