We may get less rain in terms of inches, but we get a lot more dark, drizzly, damp days than other parts of the country...

In any case; if you're in the greater Seattle area you should visit Abe at MBMW at 81st and Aurora right next to Greenlake, he's great. Also, in South Seattle there's a place called Benz Friendz who have enough old Mercedes hulks you could literally rebuild a fleet of the things with all the parts.
