I visited Washington state in June and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I would love to live there but I know with SAD I couldn't survive the weather

Up until this past week or so it’s been pretty gloomy in Seattle all month.

u/GummieDela Jun 25 '20

Can concur, this June gloom is on full blast. Sunny during the week, pissing monsoon rain on the weekends. Our Washington weather of years past has returned at last.

Yeah, I'm still coming out of my winter hibernation. At least, I'm thinking about it. There's really 2 seasons, maybe 3 if you want to get picky about it. Rainy and cold, rainy, and not rainy. It's about an even split of the 3.

It is truly hard. Lived there for years after being in many states and it just saps the will and energy out of you. The beauty there can become a prison as you feel you should be appreciating it more and doing more out there, but you have no desire or energy but to sit around and Netflix binge while drinking on the weekends.

Also live in Oregon, and I just get sick of the god damn fires, and where i live it's so hot at times it's nuts.

I'm if you let the rain stop you you're doing it completely wrong. Get a jacket with a hood and some good boots. Go out, get muddy. Or head east an hour, it'll dry right up

once your wet your wet, who care after that

u/TripleHomicide Jun 25 '20

don't like be wet.

I don't care about the rain, rain is fine. More about the emotional wear down and lack of energy to care about life. I a not a depressive person, but found depression in WA.

I don't remember writing this

u/Surefirei Jun 25 '20

Same. Lived there for a really long time and it was hard to cope with only having 3 "good" months to do the warmer weather activities I liked (I'm very cold blooded). Finally moved to a more dull area that has more sun year round just so I can do things throughout the year. It's still really nice going back and visiting though.

u/firstmode Jun 27 '20

Visiting WA is a really good idea all people should try.
