Seattle typically doesn't get a lot of rain over the summer, however this summer has been especially dry. Over the past two months we've had only a quarter inch of rain. That's not much.

While the effects of drought haven't been very apparent in the city, while we were out driving around with Lesley's parents we saw a lot dead dry grass along the highways.

While Seattle's summer is great because of the sun and (normally) comfortable temperatures, I don't think I'm the only one who is glad to see some rain in the forecast over the next week.
