The rainy background seemed appropriate to enforce the assumption that it ALWAYS rains in Seattle. The locals like the rainy reputation because they don't want this place "completely overrun like California". Since I'm trying to blend in with the locals as much as I can (which is easier than I thought cause so many of them are transplants from the midwest), I thought I would do my part to strengthen the rainy reputation. Please disregard all posted photos of beautiful sunsets and blue skies... those are just examples of my mad photoshop skills.
