Yeah, the last couple days of flying have been what I wait for all year long. And the not flying parts of the day too. There isn't anywhere better in the world than my back deck on an August night, maybe with a big moon out, warm night getting cool enough to need a fleece, sipping on a beer and listening to the the owls in our back tree line. I suppose places in AK and perhaps Scandinavia might compare this time of year, but this 50 mile radius of the PNW is unique to the entire lower 48, IMHO. High of 68 on whidbey where I live today.....maybe low 70's further away from the water. It's been full sunny every day since June (other than one random rainstorm a couple weeks ago), not a hint of humidity, and every night is a cool sea breeze. It will probably be this way until October. Maybe a small heat wave on the horizon, possibly, but that kinda goes with the territory of Aug/Sep in the NW.

Yes, shhhhhhhh, I didn't mean any of that. We don't want anyone else to come share in the misery

That's most of the weather I remember from living there in 1998-1999. I was just a hair out of downtown off West Lake Union - could sit on the roof of my apartment building and watch seaplanes taking off and landing on the Lake, marveling at the time how they never looked like they were going to clear the Aurora Ave. bridge. We'd ride motorcycles up to the Skagit valley on weekends, and this whole concept of low humidity but near water was novel to a boy raised in FL, GA and TX.
Didn't fully appreciate the place at the time, looking back, and I moved away sooner than I should have.

You know, if Seattleians would just ban the Blue Angels, global warming would stop.

August and September on Whidbey can be magical.

Sure... impeccably PERFECT! ...If you're too young or uninformed to realize that 25 years ago that now dark side of the mountain was perpetually covered in snow (perpetually means "all year long").

Nope. It wouldn't...
But it WOULD help.
You know what wouldn't help ... anything? False binaries contrived (or worse, just repeated) by folks possessed of self-serving, invidiously distinguishing opinions lacking any scientific integrity.
