There have been reports of 100 knot gusts and 40-foot surf on the
coast.

The major condition we are experiencing in Seattle, since yesterday,
is a torrential rain storm. Gray skies, constant downpour, water
running a couple of inches deep at some of the curbs.....IOW, a
typical winter day in the Pacific North Wet. I could have left my boat
at the club following the Special Peoples' Cruise, but in an open
slip, so I ran back to my covered moorage just inside the locks last
night. No point leaving the brightwork out in the rain for several
days more than need be.

Business will take me to Bellingham today, where it just may be
blowing like Stink. Seattle is somewhat in the lee of the Olympic
mountain range over on the peninsula, and these winds from Hawaii
"split" and run around the north and south ends of that range. They
often reunite in a "convergence zone" somewhere north of Seattle, and
that local area can experience some of the wettest and wildest weather
in all of Puget Sound.
