North of Seattle to Everett is the convergence zone. More rain and wind and if the conditions are right, a lot more snow.

In Bellingham, you get another convergence zone with the Frazier River canyon outflow. Can get some really cold blasts, wind and heavy snow where 20 miles away gets nothing.

Shelton, Belfair along the Hood Canal have their own micro climate with cold air getting trapped there and then the snow dumps just in that area.

It is a weather man's nightmare calling western Wa weather. Though the computer models have gotten much better as of late.
