If you were to estimate, how many days out of the year are overcast vs sunny?

Where do you come with this crazy number or are just throwing wild numbers out? 340 days of rain per year is simply anywhere near the truth. Unless you are just trying to be sarcastic.

I will give you credit for 8 hours of darkness during deep wnter, if that. Of course the summer provides an average of almost 15 hours of daylight from mid-June through late July.

For Olympia at least Wikipedia says 75% cloudy so Seattle must be similar.

The sun comes up 365 days a year. Enjoy each day!

This is just one of those "We're full up" posts to detract potential transplants from coming into their city. The reality is that Seattle has been bombarded with transplants year after year since the late 80's. The hate is misguided. Why aren't they blaming the multi-national corporations that are paying these families to relocate there from all parts of the United States and abroad? They are the ones being lazy in not wanting to train local talent. They are also the true reason for the declining standard of living and lower quality of life.
The only backlash I can remember on a public scale was the "No WTO" protests back in 1999.

But...you're not local either. I don't mean to offend at all but this onslaught is coming regionally, nationally and internationally, it's not just international.

rainy and grey damp most of the year save a couple moths in what they think is summer here
