Recently, my wife and I were discussing places we’d like to live, and Seattle popped up. During our discussion, she worried that Seattle might be too gloomy, too overcast, and too rainy for us. I guess I’ll have to share with her this list, which ranks the rainiest cities in the US. Seattle doesn’t even crack the Top 10.
- Mobile, Alabama
- Pensacola, Florida
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- West Palm Beach, Florida
- Lafayette, Louisiana
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana
- Miami, Florida
- Port Arthur, Texas
- Tallahassee, Florida
- Lake Charles, Louisiana
Amusingly, I live outside the fourth rainiest city (which is currently in its fifth week of water restrictions, thanks to a drought). Maybe it’s time to pack up and move to Seattle, after all.
