The Southeast dominated the most rainy list, while the Pacific Northwest never enters the list until Olympia, Washington pops up at number 24.


However, the article goes on to say that Olympia, WA actually did indeed average the most annual rainy days at 63, 4 more than Mobile, Alabama which topped off the list as the #1 wettest city in the continental U.S. This shows that while it does rain a lot in the Northwest, it rains much harder in other parts of the country.
