Not necessarily - this winter was a good example of a dry winter. Very long spring here
Spring is just another version of winter in the northwest, and has not been dry so far this year. If anything, it's worse, as the weather gets volatile and changes several times a day.
Flew in to Albany once for an interview. My first words driving my rental through town was "no f-ing way". The interview was like a bad blind date. The place is a dump and I am being generous here. Portland is a freaking shangra-la compared to Albany.
I think I'll pack my bags and buy a pickup, take it downt to LA...
You'll get the Portland vibe, that's for sure. The people are going to be the main difference. They're just more helpful, friendly and all-around nicer in the Northwest. If you like 40-60 degrees, that's 90% of the year in PDX. I moved from OR to NY and the cold winters/humid summers out here suck

Most post-college runner wannabees are heading to either Portland or Colorado/flagstaff. It's the cool thing to do. Make sure to buy a few pairs of skinny jeans and obsess over nutrition, and you'll fit in fine.
