When I read the article I thought exactly the same thing, but apparently we're both remembering it wrong. According to this page at KOMO TV's web site:
(Yes, the record is 33 days. There is some rumor going around about streak of rain of 80, 90, or even 100 days in the winter of 1998-99. While that was a rainy winter, the longest streak during that time frame was 18 days. It did rain on 90 of the 120 days between Nov. 1 and Feb. 28, but there were enough dry days in there to stop any streaks.
In fact, it was a full day of sunshine on Nov. 7, 1998 as well as Jan. 2 and Mar. 6 in 1999, so no 90-day rain streaks there :) )
Yeah it's weird... I guess when it stops for a day or two in a streak of 120 days, you almost don't notice ... especially if it's overcast !!! But hey, it's a little bit sunny today .... :)
