Yeah, I know this will come as a surprise but...

...it's raining in Seattle, Lynn says.
Rainfall records were set Monday across Western Washington, including 8.22 inches at Stampede Pass in the Cascade Mountains. That station broke an all-time rain record of 7.29 inches set on Nov. 19, 1962.

New records for Monday's date included 3.29 inches at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and 4.31 inches at Olympia Airport. A record temperature of 61 degrees was set in Seattle on Monday, beating the 1997 record of 60 degrees, the Weather Service said.

Guess so. All along the Washington coast, it seems. Some guy from Packwood, in the southwest part of the state, reports the Cowlitz River, rising, looked "like chocolate milk." To a Seattlite (Is that right? Seattlite? Seatlonian?) that'd be like a latte, only darker.
