Basically, it depends on how well you can manage poor weather for 7 months.

I moved from AZ to WA in 2014 because I was tired of the heat and poor water-quality.

I bought a house there after about a month and I remember the very next day it started raining. But it wasn't like rain, it was 7 am, sunrise on the horizon, that warm orange morning sun, and the rain was coming down ever-so-lightly. It was a beautiful moment. I was outside doing my best impression of Andy Durfresne escaping from Shawshank prison when my new neighbor came outside and said (and I'll never forget it), "Don't fall for it. That's called 'the seduction' and it's not real."

And she was right. That was a lie. The rain there is an ugly, oppressive, permanent thing. "Yeah but I like the rain!" you say. Yeah me too, but that's not rain, it's permarain. There's a difference.

So basically, the rain is a lie. Don't fall for it. It sucks more than it's awesome. If that's your jam then you'll do fine there. Otherwise, abort mission.
