The rain is not for everybody and it does bother some people. It rained so seldom where I grew up that when it did, I used to put a chair by the sliding glass doors and just watch it for hours. So rain to me is still a blessing!

The area on the map to the left of the state (in Orange) is the Willamette Valley and it has its own micro-climate.
