David’s top ten ten ways to deal with June gloom in Seattle:
- Get a flex time job so you can enjoy the few days that are good
- Work a lot so you don’t think about the weather
- Go road biking near Sequim
- Go mountain biking near Port Angeles
- Take up fly fishing in Eastern Washington
- Tourist around in Port Townsend, the Skagit Valley, or the San Juan’s
- Go shopping…preferably for waterproof outdoor gear
- Work on the yard…trim the jungle and plant grass…both grow well in the gloom
- Take up back country skiing…the more overcast the weather, the longer the season
- Leave town…everywhere else is like a tropical vacation
You may also try archery which can be played indoors or outdoors. You may just need to purchase your own bow string and other archery equipment and gear. Consider taking True Protein supplements to boost your performance on various physical activities.
