All true. Olympia is tied with Rochester, NY for the most days with precipitationin the continental US. I wrote this song very early on in the process. It seemed a quintessential Olympia notion to me. Not raining right now? Give it a couple hours!

lyrics

One-hundred-sixty-seven days in every year
Olympia, Washington will see rain
That’s the most precipitous days in these United States
Olympia, Washington has the rain

Let it rain

Back when I was thirteen, delivering the Daily O
It seemed every afternoon would bring rain
My bike knifed through black puddles
The spray flying high
Olympia, Washington has the rain

Let it rain

Sometimes it’s a sprinkle
Sometimes a deluge
Once in a while, you’ll see a little hail or snow
But mostly it’s a lot of rain

I have a wife and children
Grey is in our soul
They will go and dance out in the rain
We found our beautiful home in the midst of a downpour
Olympia, Washington has the rain

Let it rain

Nudity - Is God's Creation
by Nudity

Nudity is my favorite Olympia band. Guitar ripping, Kraut rock inspired 4 women plus Dave. They are the real deal. All their albums are worthy! Tom Dyer and The True Olympians
