When I move to Seattle...will I need...?


I plan on moving to Seattle in about a year. I need advice from someone who knows the area. Fitness is very important to me. I currently live in Texas, which has a warm climate. So, for exercise I have gotten use to jogging/running outside. When I move to Seattle, I'm wondering if I should invest in an exercise bike, due to the rain? How often do you think I'd be able to actually do my jogging/running outside? Do you think I should get an exercise bike when I move there?

I absolutely love the rain. So a majority of the time, couldn't I just jog in it? I wouldn't exercise everyday, so I could miss a day or two each week.
I'm not into gyms or anything. I was just wondering if I should get an exercise bike to rely on for the rainy days, but if it's usually just a sprinkle, I could handle it right?

Avid Seattle runners (like myself) have no problem taking a jaunt in the rain. As mentioned before, a lot of our rain is a drizzle or a "mist" - so its actually pretty refreshing. I usually just wear normal shorts and a long sleeve tshirt - knowing I'm going to get pretty soaked.

If you're a die-hard runner, you should be able to run just about every day of the year, since it rarely gets super cold in the winter.

A gym membership is great for those days when it's raining really hard.

It does rain a lot here, but often times it's not as horrible as people make it out to be. 8 times out of 10 it's totally bearable with just a jacket on. If you're not down with the rain, you'll probably want to buy the bike, or there are a TON of fitness clubs around the city to join.

Seattle ( SEATTLE RAINS BUT A FUN CITY..
I was away in Seattle for a few days attending the "Everything Must Change" conference. What a great city. We had some Seattle rain, Seattle sunshine, caught a ballgame, went to a blues club, toured Freemont, Pikes Market and ate some great food. How can a city of < 500,000 have so much to offer?

When I visited for a week, this year it rained 3 times. ( Lightly) this
year( Fun City) Im From Canada and like Vancouver Seattle rains.

Hope the chart helps.

Yeah you should try indoor gyms. They have alot of them and then they have alot of YMCA'S and places to swim. I mean it doesnt rain EVERY DAY. But it rains a couple times every week, and when it does rain, it sprinkles, so you could probably ride your bike sometimes just to get some fresh air.

u can do jogging and running and biking in a lot of places in Seattle. If u live near greenlake u can runing around the lake or if u live around Lake of Washington u can jog part of the lake. Theres many places.

i fit rains its just misty semi hard rain but not pouring all the time..get a good jogging outfit to wear in the rain. if you can stand it then just get a jogging outfit. :)

yes people say it rains so much well it doesnt miami new york and dallas see more than seattle does, it just happening to drizzle and sprinkle. so run all you want its not that bad,
