It also rains a ton in the coastal regions in Oregon. Not all of Washington is rainy, it is mostly the western half, or west of the Cascades. The same is true of Oregon, specifically the western half which is closest to the ocean, aka water which equals rain. The cascade mountain range acts as a barrier against rain, creating a rainshadow and more desert-like climate, with more snow and less rain.
