I live in the PNW also, but haven't broken out my tights yet, I don't usually run in tights until it hits about 57 or below. Running in tights doesn't bother me, when its raining it feels a lot better on the body than soaked running shorts.
Just whatever you do, never wear shorts over your tights please.
If it makes you feel more comfortable, you should just wear shorts over tights. It looks a bit ridiculous, sure, but if it gets you out the door, just do it.
Think of it this way: You can either be uncomfortable by showing the clear outline of your junk to every random stranger out there or you can be uncomfortable by looking a bit silly because you're wearing a pair of unnecessary shorts. Which makes you feel more uncomfortable might be different for one person than another. It's a matter of potentially being seen as creepy or gross or almost certainly being perceived as a dork.
I usually wear just the tights when out at a park where I'll only see a handful of people, but I wear shorts over them when I go to run at the high school track, because I feel like people might perceive me as a creepy guy running in form fitting tights while the 16 year old cheerleaders are practicing on the infield. I'm 30 now. If I was still some 18 year old, I'd probably not care, since they'd just view me as a dorky high school kid running around the track.
