 How's
The Weather?
Washington state has a reputation for rain, however it actually has less
rainfall than many other cities in the US, and many of the
states more populated areas see relatively little or no snowfall.
To be
fair when comparing annual rainfall it is useful to consider that when
it rains in Bellingham it is often a light drizzle or continual
sprinkle. This is why the average northwest Washington resident rarely
bothers with an umbrella and also helps to explain the popularity of
coffee establishments. When you are lightly rained on with just a bit
of a chill, nothing is better than a nice cup of your favorite coffee.
Bellingham does get wild rains as well. The hard driving rains that
come with winter storms can bring with them high winds of 65-70 mph,
falling trees, damaging roofs, and ruining crops but these are not
