But the temperature in Seattle is MUCHHHHHHHHH NICER all year

2 weeks, eh? Must be some kind of record.
Lets look at sunshine percentage here... While Seattle gets as much sun as CHicago in summer, its fall and winter percentages are lower (and summer too).
Seattle sunshine percentage in January: 28%, Chicago: 46%. Chicago averages 18% more sun.
February... Seattle: 34%, Chicago 47% Chicago averages 13% more sun.
March... Seattle: 42%, Chicago 50% Chicago averages 8% more sun.
April... Seattle: 47%, Chicago 50% Chicago averages 3% more sun.
May... Seattle: 52%, Chicago 57% Chicago averages 5% more sun.
June... Seattle: 49%, Chicago 67% Chicago averages 18% more sun.
July... Seattle: 63%, Chicago 65% Chicago averages 2% more sun.
August... Seattle: 56%, Chicago 63% Chicago averages 7% more sun.
September... Seattle: 53%, Chicago 58% Chicago averages 5% more sun.
October... Seattle: 37%, Chicago 56% Chicago averages 19% more sun.
November... Seattle: 28%, Chicago 39% Chicago averages 11% more sun.
December... Seattle: 23%, Chicago 44% Chicago averages 21% more sun.
I consider winter Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, part of March. On average, during those months, we average almost 15% more sunshine, and its very cloudy here, which makes Seattle ULTRA cloudy.
