I've been living in Seattle for 1.5 years and I have a hard time with this "we rarely get proper rain" everyone says. I've seen proper rain countless times. Sometimes it really pours. I thought I'd be able to walk around in the drizzle and not get very wet, but my experience is that it's not really drizzle and I get soaked after a number of minutes outside.

Downed trees, washed out roads (I'm looking at you, Ponce de Leon where you branch off to Decatur), and plenty of thunder and lightning. You'll be positively drenched if you're outside in it at all. Seattle rarely if ever sees rain like that. A drizzle does mean there is actively water coming out of the sky. You will get wet, but a single layer rain jacket with a hood is sufficient to mitigate that. I suppose YMMV.
