Its also surrounded by the two incredible cities of Vancouver and Portland (a few hours drive to either). Also, the region is home to some of the best beers in the world (if you're a fan of hoppy beer).
It's also wonderful for waterskiing. We used to go out 3 days a week. With a drysuit you can ski all year. It's fun skiing along side the 520 bridge while the commuters rot in traffic :-)
And yes, Seattle traffic is terrible. It's one downside.
I personally enjoy the rainy days. They're quiet and peaceful, and make the air smell good. There's nothing quite like a nice rainy day when you're drinking coffee and working on your computer, in a plaid flannel shirt.
