It's misting today.
There is a wide misconception that it rains all the time in Seattle. This is patently false. When it does actually rain, in the manner that most of the country is familiar with, everyone freaks out. But the mist here is what you would expect people with no senses of humor to call "Seattle Sunshine." It resembles fog but the moisture is a little more concentrated, and the visibility is slightly higher. Also - and this is key - it stays around all day long. Well, not today but usually. It's hell to be on the road in but fine to walk around in.
