Cold, wet, dreary cast weather throughout the year they have to provide the things you listed or no one would live there.

That's cool. I'm from Houston and the opposite, extremely hot and humid almost 8 months of the year is the exact reason I moved to Seattle. We also don't multiple major floods to deal with every year. And Seattle FYI isn't even in the top 15 for annual rainfall.
Secret is that the weather in Seattle from the end of April through the end of October is some of the best in the entire country. Plus it's surrounded by mountains and the Puget Sound.
