At City Light our benchmark for a crappy water year was 2001. This year, snow pack just reached that level, but has been melting quicker. However, precipitation as a whole is pretty average. The saving grace has been Canadian precipitation on both the Skagit and Pend Oreille. Closer to town, the North Cascades situation has been pretty grim, snow-wise.
Being able to build on mountainous land by piercing the snow by and pushing back the GMA boundaries appropriately, would let more people get in on the land deals reserved only to the long-timers around here.

No. We're talking snowpack issues. As noted in the article our rain is not as much of an issue.
Unless you felt living in Seattle meant you were overburdened by too much snow in the mountains, you completely missed the point.
As a matter of fact, I do feel that way.
