Olympia Breaks Soggy Streak Record
Rain fell for the 34th day in a row in the state's capitol, breaking their old record of 33 straight set from Jan. 6 through Feb. 7 in 1953.
The rainy streak began with snow just before midnight on the night of Dec. 18.
That is the same record Seattle was chasing, but fell short on Sunday and their streak ended at 27 days. (Incidentally, it has rained on each day since, so Seattle can take solace that they were 32 of 33 days with rain -- the Seattle streak began a day later than Olympia's.)
Shelton is also the proud owner of a 34-day streak, while Forks and Tacoma are still going at 33 days. Incidentally, Tacoma has tied their record too of 33 days, which was identical to Olympia and Seattle's record.
Shelton (41 days) and Forks (51 days) have a way to go to break their records though.
But the streaks don't look to last much longer, as drier weather is expected over the weekend.
