Does it ruin what could be a great place to live?
It tends to be a "soft rain". It's grey and winter can be particularly depressing---sleet but little if any snow, so nothing to reflectthe limited light.

Chicago gets more rain per year than Seattle. The thing about Seattle is quality, not quantity. Seattle can be bathed in drizzle for days, with fog and low clouds. Chicago gets hit with rain or thunderstorms, then it can be sunny the next day.

I went to college in Bellingham, north of there and it was dismal.

Sounds depressing

Dreary - the winters there are long, wet, cold and monotonous. LIterally no sunshine for what seems like months.
I'm not a fan of Seattle.

It’s just a drizzle.

R5: The upside though is that winter has highs in the 40s and 50s. While in Chicago we're in the 20s and 30s, with 10s and single digits from time to time. It is a trade off.

Based on OP's picture, it appears to be raining men.
It's raining men, hallelujah.

Seattle is far more depressing and less fun than Portland.

I googled: gays-rain-Seattle.
But I could find anything that fulfilled the full criteria so I just settled on gays in Seattle (in the sunshine).

At least it makes everything green.

Nice place to visit, but wouldn't live there. Yes, it often rains (or drizzles), but the deal breaker is the traffic.

Seattle doesn’t have the fake hate crimes committed in zero-degree weather by Nigerian thugs like Chicago does.

A fellow who lives in Palm Sprngs told me it's not the rain, but the grey skies that drove him gazonkers batshit depressed. I'm just used to it. My little made up joke about one way you can tell a native Seattleite is when somebody from a location that actually has four seasons says, "What happened? There was no summer this year!?" The native Seattleite's reply? "Oh, maybe next year."
