Do you think you can deal with 300 days of wet pavement per year?

The PNW has some of the most beautiful summers you'll ever see. Sure they only last a month but it's still really nice.

Interesting clear days per year stats here: https://www.wrcc.dri.edu/htmlfiles/westcomp.clr.html
Seattle : 71
Portland : 68
Spokane : 88 - dang I thought it was sunnier than that out there.
Los Angeles : 186
Seattle vs. Portland rainfall is about a tie. 35.5" SEA, 35.7" PDX.
Seattle is much less likely to experience oppressive heat in the summer than Portland.

Should I get silver omniums for my khaki green rush? I feel this stigma that people say the omnium crankset doesn't look too nice on thin tubed frames.
