Still several days/month with measurable rainfall; rainless would be California, away from the influence of the SW monsoon, and southern Oregon.
FWIW and just to be ( probably annoyingly) precise---PARTS of southern Oregon are quite dry in regards to total annual precip.---roughly 20" annual for Medford roughly 90 miles inland with essentially rainless summers for example while Brookings on the coast is rather damp with about 60" total rainfall (but still basically rainless summers as both place have a basically Mediterranean wet winter/dry summer pattern). sorry if I am stating the blindingly obvious and what everybody else already knows but just in case.... of course, so far both places and most other parts of the west coast of north America have been exceptionally dry this winter and may even better fit Qillin34's description, LOL.

Reason: add more information to post
I'm really curious about the snow threshold measurements in Sochi. Does Sochi really get more snow than Victoria? 20 vs. 7.8 days? I honestly find that hard to believe. Maybe someone can shed some light on this...

My fault here...I was thinking of the I-5 corridor, not the sparsely populated Coast Range part of the Pacific Coast, and from the SF Bay Area on southward, definitely rainless summers. I don't know the climatic gradient from the Bay Area to Eureka, to be frank...
Although Sochi is a little wet, but it has much better temperatures than Victoria.
In fact, Victoria's summers are even cooler than London and San Fran, with an average high below 70F in its warmest month. Nights are incredibly cool, lows are in the 50s, which is definitely cool enough to wear a coat.
Sochi's summers are really nice, temperatures are warm enough to wear T shirt and shorts but not hot at all. Average rainy days are similar to NYC with plenty of sunshine.

I guess only a flake of snow is needed to be considered a snow day in Sochi. In Victoria (and Canada) some accumulation is necessary for that.
I voted for Sochi as I prefer warmer temperatures overall as it trumps rainfall for me (Vic is drier, Sochi is warmer). Both to me are pretty decent climates though.
