Description:"The climate of Seattle is the direct result of the terrain surrounding the area and the proximity of the city to the Pacific Ocean. The Cascade Mountains, east of the city, and, to a lesser extent, the Olympic Mountains, which are located northwest of the city, are the major terrain factors that have an effect on the climate of Seattle. The prevailing weather patterns bring moist marine air from the Pacific into the area creating a climate characterized by mild temperatures, a pronounced though not sharply defined rainy season, and considerable cloudiness, particularly during the winter months"--Introduction.
