When I first came to the USA, I worked in Seattle for 6 months.From a former Californian, now in Olympia Washington. Welcome to the forum.
There was a British gent there who had lived in California for 20 years and missed the seasons.
I thought he was a little crazy, considering the amazing weather here in California.
But then I got to witness the snowcapped Mount Rainier from the backyard.
Thank you for the welcome sir!
