Yeah, it drizzles a lot there, but it doesn't often rain hard. Most of the precipitation falls in the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Cascades to the east.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised too. In fact, hailing from Seattle was one of the reasons I clicked on the quiz. I figured, 'ah, I got this one.' But, nope. I guess just being cloudy and misty all of the time doesn't really count.
I've also read that Pittsburgh is the cloudiest city in America. I live near there and I can confirm that it's very cloudy and often rainy, and so I was a bit surprised it wasn't on here.
It should probably be "Hampton Roads" rather than VB. VB's population is around 400k, but the whole Hampton Roads area (which includes Norfolk and 5 other cities) has a population around 1.7 m
Does this include total precipitation, i.e., rain equivalent of snow? It appears not. I would think that if that were included, cities like Cleveland and Buffalo would make the list.
Interesting. I grew up within 100 miles of St. Louis (with, of course, no mountains between us), but my hometown has over 7 inches/year more precipitation than St. Louis does.
Added San Juan as a filled in answer :)
"Oh! Were you expecting that certain Pacific Northwest city, weren't you? Psych!!!! It's not here!"
It could be as a caveat, or a modal pop-up after the timer runs out, or whenever you type said Pacific Northwest city.
